No. It happens because it _was_ designed that way.

Adding/removing tool-bars _may_ change the height of the frame on some
platforms. I was told by Richard
I think that change causes another bug. The height in lines of an
Emacs frame is not supposed to include the tool bar. If you create a
frame and specify 40 lines, you should get 40 lines of text, plus a
tool bar.

and by Robert
I like it that the number of lines of text stays the same.

Hence, unless we reach a common opinion on how to handle these issues
accross _all_ platforms and window managers, hardly anyone will try to
fix them (IIUC Jan gave up already).
