They are already implemented for X
Where? Maybe I misunderstood, but my impression from this discussion
was that they aren't and actually the need for them and their utility
are debatable.
In xterm.c, do_ewmh_fullscreen. I don't know why you say they are
debatable
Like I said, I probably misunderstood. It's easy, what with all the
bikeshedding in this thread.
it is the only way to correctly make an Emacs frame full
height or full width or fullscreen or maximized. It lets the WM do the
job, so Emacs doesn't need to count pixels and panels and taskbars and
autohide and whatever.
I think the only practical way of doing the same on Windows is to
exclude the area reserved for the task bar. It could be that in a few
rare cases this will produce less pixels than are strictly possible.
So what are the objections to this (my original suggestion) at this
point? To be 100% clear, I suggest:
. on w32, return the dimensions sans the reserved part(s)
. on other GUI platforms, no change from the current behavior
