... with GNOME/mutter it's hard to tell but that shouldn't bother us
here ...

Alternatively you could put new_x and new_y together with an identifier
(say 'size_and_position') into PARAMETER and extract them before running
the hook.  INHIBIT would be 1 anyway, so frame_inhibit_resize is of no
concern here.

This is the crucial point - rewriting all those adjust_frame_size calls
would be a great pain.

I think so, yes.

Before coding other backends of set_window_size_hook make sure that the
code gives the desired results on your own system to avoid writing them
without any gain.
