Why does it matter if we get that accurately, in builds where we don't
manage those decorations?  We might as well approximate that with some
reasonable value, and be done, no?

Which on Windows, it is, AFAIK.

This is on XP:

  ((frame-position -4 . -4) (frame-outer-size 1928 . 1088) 
(external-border-size 4 . 4) (title-height . 19) (menu-bar-external . t) 
(menu-bar-size 1920 . 19) (tool-bar-external) (tool-bar-position . top) 
(tool-bar-size 1920 . 36) (frame-inner-size 1920 . 1042))
