for non-Windows ? Are you saying that under lclwin32 Form.Width <> 
Form.ClientWidth ?

Believe or not under X11 such results are unpredictible while created window 
isn't visible (mapped) yet. Event freedesktop standards give warnings about it 
- since WM handles frame extents (borders, title bar) and it's up to wm when 
we will get it - so you are NEVER 100% sure that eg. QWidget_frameGeometry() 
includes decorations from WM (title and borders) ...
