At least on my linux box, if you do that, you can then examine the
size fields in the !D system variable to get the true size of your
window, which you can assume to be the maximum possible size and use
accordingly in your subsequent drawing operations.

Fudge factors are not a good idea, since it is up to the window
manager and the user's preferences how much screen real estate is
consumed by toolbars, window title bars, and other decorations.
