Isn't it the purpose of the function, to ask X for actual geometry as
opposed to what was in the last processed event, like 
gdk_x11_get_server_time
vs. GDK_CURRENT_TIME? Maybe it doesn't matter on MacOSX
since there is no client-server thing,  but the behavior certainly must 
be the same as
on X (real size of toplevel window is this function, and get_size() and 
friends
get you what's in GtkWidget/GdkDrawable structures, etc.).
