There were very few previous mentions of "task bar" in Emacs, but all were written as "taskbar" rather than "task bar". I also think the details here are likely to be OS-specific. I think "taskbar" is mainly a MS-Windows term? I never hear it it connection with X, AFAIK; but this could well be just my ignorance. Eg on X with XFCE, the equivalent would be "panels", I guess, and these have zero affect: geometry == workarea. "side bar" was never mentioned before now. I would suggest maybe rewording this to be less definitive, and basically just say that the precise details are likely to be OS-specific. > + (workarea 0 0 1920 1050) ;; Bottom of screen used for task bar > + form of (X Y WIDTH HEIGHT); this excludes task bar etc.
