The WM-provided data will be right 95% of the time, especially for
regular windows/dialogs. And a WM could in theory provide 100% correct
info, if the WM author felt it was worthwhile or the WM was a relatively
simple one.

The app's guess can be wildly wrong - think of a large font titlebar for
example, the app could guess half the real height.
