Form.MinimumSize property doesn't work

[sandman]

I set the MinimumSize property on my form but it doesn't
seem to work. I can still resize the form to any size I
want. What I'm trying to do is prevent the buttons from
vanishing when the form is resized. So I figured if I set
the minimum size it would stop the form from resizing past
the buttons. Works ok in the Designer but not in runtime.
Is there another way to accomplish this?

Setting MinimumSize has always worked for me. You'll probably have to post
a short but complete program that shows this problem in order to get better
help. For example, below is a short but complete program that works fine.
