This was discussed in the list around 22 Sept 03 under the subject 
'Leaving room for the title bar'. It may also be of interest that the 
other decorations in the window (the sides and the bottom) also take 
away pixels from the available space within it - I think this was 
also discussed. Anyway I incorporated the results of this in an app 
which has since been tested pretty hard by a profeesional, so I think 
it works. Basically if it's Windows the user can reset the height of 
the bar (and other decorations) so you have to query the Registry; on 
the Mac there appear to be standard heights. If you want to see my 
script on all this I will gladly send it to you.
