Not necessarily true. The problem is GNUstep tries to be clever about 
things such as window frames - In order to comply with the OpenStep spec 
it needs to know the actual bounds of a window including borders and 
title bars. This information isn't readily available so GNUstep tries to 
guess it.

I've caught certain X servers generating spurious ConfigureNotify 
events, and these sometimes confuse GNUstep.
