intended, but not desirable.

Yes. That is what everyone wants.

You cannot depend upon that. Will differ across OS's. Could differ between
JVM releases. Might even differ within an OS (using large fonts in
Windows).

I would vote for having you use -g and change the meaning.

no opinion.

> 5) Suggestions?

You may need to play around to get the window size that you want.

 1. Make a guess at the outer window size ... +12 & +116
 2. Check the inner pane size
 3. Adjust again using your empirically determined 'decoration' size.
