We should not inhibit placement there just as we allow a frame to hide
the taskbar of the window manager on the desktop.  But we could
provide a parameter for child frames that would, if set, accomplish
that.

Could you try coding such a thing?  The value to be added in the
y-direction should account for the internal border width of the frame,
the height of the minibuffer, a vertical window divider and the height
of the mode line if these are set.  In the x-direction we then should
probably avoid hiding the internal border as well.  And we probably
should disable the effect of this if it would cause the child frame to
no more fit into its parent at the top or the right.
