Haven't been following this part of the thread; dunno what I missed.

Where can I find that?

I'm afraid I don't have anything to offer here, sorry.  My frame-fitting
code pretty much side-steps handling of the tool bar (and it tries to
DTRT for multiple Emacs versions).  Here is a comment from the code:

;; `extra-lines' for minimum frame height.  Starting with Emacs 21+,
;; `set-frame-size' includes the tool-bar and the minibuffer.  For Emacs
;; without a toolkit, the one-line menu-bar is also included - add 1 line
;; for that.  Add 1 line for the minibuffer, unless it is standalone.
;; Perhaps we should also take into account a possible horizontal scroll
;; bar, but we don't do that.

To allow for the tool bar I just add
(cdr (assq 'tool-bar-lines (frame-parameters frame))) to the needed height.

A bigger problem for me is wrapped menu-bar lines (I guess the same
problem is there for a wrapped tool bar too).  This is my code comment:

;; We can't really know whether menu-bar gets wrapped.
;; Assume it wraps once.
