That is wrong - there should be "size" instead of "width".

I'm not sure you understand what this is all about.
To Test for that you'll need to start somthing with SouthEast gravity,
for example :

rxvt -g -10-10

and see if the frame decoration's lower right outer edge stays at -10-10
when
window comes up and wm decorates it. If it does then everything is good.
