I should also note: the usable client area stays exactly the same size.

P.S. On a side note as to another reason why the menu builder/stack shifting
for Rev sucks: the shift size isn't just different per platform, it's
different per OS. The size I need to handle things on Windows 7 is different
from XP is different from 98 and is different from OS X. I can't even use
the height of the menu bar group to know how much to move my controls. I'm
literally stuck counting pixels on the screen and figuring it out for each
standalone created.
