What happens is that whatever the non-nil fullscreen state is, the size
of the frame in the state immediately before restarting CTWM is frozen:
It becomes the frame's new "normal" size after CTWM has restarted.  You
still can transit from maximized to fullboth and vice-versa but the
previous normal size is lost.

Not that the "normal" size works well with each and every window manager
but the behavior on CTWM is quite singular.  OTOH I don't know of any WM
that supports its own restart on-the-fly.  Maybe that's the prize one
has to pay for it.

But this is a problem you had without setting 'frame-resize-pixelwise'
too.  Right?
