Top level frame sizes unhelpfully include the size of the window
decorations - titlebar and borders. It was a really bad choice, IMHO,
but it's there. There's some magic way to get the size of the
decorations from Java and do the math yourself.

Another fun thing is that Frames in Windows can't be any narrower than
about 108 pixels - that's the minimum width of the title bar.

Platform independent GUI is suprisinglyh hard.
