When resizing an Emacs frame, the window manager's display of the
actual size and a character-size granularity are nice to have.
However, the displayed geometry clearly does not count in the
decorations from Emacs itself (scrollbar, fringes), so there is
apparently already a mechanism in place in the window-manager
communication that can discount decorations, and it is not unlikely
that the decorations need not have character cell size.

For embedding, however, one might need to pad or fill still.
