I'd be surprised if that was the case even with X Window programs (where 
the concept of a window manager does exist), let alone MS Windows (where 
there is no such thing as a "window manager" except for the basic 
functionality supplied by the OS and whatever GUI framework the app 
happens to be using.

Notmally, I'd expect a window manager to add some scroll bars at best, 
leaving it up to the application to adjust the window contents to a 
changed window size.

Though POV-Ray presently does indeed use some Windows GDI API functions 
to scale the image if necessary.
