I tried on W32 (Windows 7). Maximizing a window does not use the space
occupied by the taskbar, but there is no problem in creating a frame
that does. So an unmximized window can be taller than a maximized one.
On Gnome, the window manager won't let you do this, so when you set
frame height/geometry to anything that might cover a panel, it adjusts
the X window so it doesn't cover any panels.
