Strange, on mageia 4, kde, lazarus 1.2.4 it doesn't work. What I'm
trying to do is to tile windows one next to the other. Using
GetWindowRect under windows I can do it properly, while on linux gtk the
windows overlap (i.e. with this layout


     A  B  C
     D  E

A overlaps D and B overlaps E, the amount of overlap seems to be equal
to the height of the title bar).

So in theory GetWindowRect is the "right" function while GetWindowSize
is redundant (since there's already width and height)?
