I don't think that's the right answer. I consider metacity's insistence
on preventing the user from resizing the window to be larger than the
screen to be a bug (or its insistence on preventing the user from
moving a window above the screen's top, similarly).
So I think Emacs should try to do a better job choosing a default size,
based on the screen size, such that the default size (including WM
decorations) is not larger than the screen.
