While I haven't had a chance too test the new code, I am farely certain you 
are right. In GTK Form Width and Height represent  a Forms modifiable Size, 
that is it is Width x Height not counting Window Borders/TitleBar, this is 
sort of like what the ClientArea for Forms is on Windows. On Windows Width x 
Height represent the size including Window Borders/Titlebars. As a Result of 
this a Form of 100x100 in GTK is something like a form of 115x125 on 
Windows. so any form desginged with GTK sizes in mind, will look just a 
little too small under windows. The best way to take care of this is to make 
ClientWidth/ClientHeight work properly, and use these values instead... This 
is also not entirely correct, but a lot of thought will need to be put into 
how to make values match as closely as possible between the two interfaces, 
once the Win32 interface is more complete.
