Sorry, what's your point? Those docs haven't been updated since 1.5
and they assume a 320x480 screen.
I am fairly certain that document is newer than 1.5, but, never mind.
I have an Android 2.3 device. I have tried some third-party app
widgets (Ambling, Remember the Milk, Extended Controls). None appear
to have 11px cropped off the bottom. Hence, the problem you are
experiencing may solely be with the 2.3 emulator. It wouldn't be the
first reported problem.
My observations match Zsolt's (not regarding 2.3, but rather widget
sizing in general).
The sizes and artwork templates in the guidelines only work for HVGA
devices and for high-res devices in portrait mode (because portrait
screen width scales the same way as the device's dpi value).
On high-res devices in landscape mode, the templates don't line up (esp.
when you consider that 800 and 854 pixel wide hdpi screens use equal
scaling but different home screen layouts).
On QVGA the templates fail for both portrait and landscape modes.
For anyone interested: take standard 4x1 landscape widget width per the
above document, 424dp. Scale that to pixels at ldpi resolution - you get
318. The screen is 320 pixels wide, but the app drawer handle takes more
than 2 pixels, so widgets actually have smaller width than in the docs.
What would really help, IMHO, is if there was a special dimension unit
for widgets: one home screen cell. Then one could specify widget layout
size as, e.g., "2wc" by "1wc" ("widget cell") and use margins expressed
in "dp" to add space between widgets.
