When running in the IDE it's not possible to know the original 
windowBoundingRect, as the IDE changes it to accomodate the toolbar 
(understandable) and tool palette (which mystifies some of us).

This will also apply to any script in your own stacks which modifies the 
windowBoundingRect property -- unless you keep track of it at the outset 
there's no going back.

I was about to enter a BZ request for an option to the 
windowBoundingRect property, or perhaps a new property (or function) to 
allow us to determine its original value, but I'm at a loss as to what 
would make good syntax.

We could have something like the originalWindowBoundingRect, but that's 
pretty long.

Suggestions?

It would seem worth having, as there are many times when it would be 
beneficial to revert the windowBoundingRect to its original value. 
While it's possible to do so in our own standalones we can't do it in 
the IDE, and either way it would seem handy to have.
