Indeed, I missed that. I also notice that there's no window covering
some of those areas, so mouse interaction is pretty broken there
(though unpainted space next to scroll bars inside the frame doesn't
have that problem).

It seems pretty broken to have leftover space there. It should
probably be part of the appropriate window.
