The EXCLUDE_TASKBAR is ignored on Macs, BUT it always returns the size
*without* the menu bar (basically its the equivalent of
EXCLUDE_TASKBAR=1 always):

For my work monitor (Mac OS X, 1680 x 1050), I get:

IDL> print, getPrimaryScreenSize()
1680 1028
IDL> print, getPrimaryScreenSize(/exclude)
1680 1028

This seems consistent from my home laptop: the menu bar is 22 pixels tall.
