I think this could probably be fixed. It used to be hard because the old 
window:: method didn't have the stylemask included, so we couldn't 
calculate the content size (i.e. without title bar). Now that it's 
included we can do that.

I took it out. I think it might be useful at some point, but we can 
always add it back.

I'll have to look at that also...
