Which means I can use this:

(defun window-height-pixels ()
  (let ((line-pixel-height-ratio (/ (+ (frame-pixel-height) 0.0) (frame-height)))
        (column-pixel-width-ratio (/ (+ (frame-pixel-width) 0.0) (frame-width))))
    (ftruncate (* (window-height) line-pixel-height-ratio))))

(defun window-width-pixels ()
  (let ((column-pixel-width-ratio (/ (+ (frame-pixel-width) 0.0) (frame-width))))
    (ftruncate (* (window-width) column-pixel-width-ratio))))

I see that the frame-pixel-functions is including window
decorations and stuff, but I guess it can work for my
purposes anyway.

Thanks!
