[martin rudalics]

Please try it and tell me whether the frame size history (hoperemains empty
now.

What apparently happens is the following: x_set_tab_bar_lines (why?)
gets called all the time with a VALUE of 1 and translates that to
FRAME_LINE_HEIGHT (f) when calling x_change_tab_bar_height.  So the
latter sets FRAME_TAB_BAR_HEIGHT (f) to FRAME_LINE_HEIGHT (f) which is
two pixels less than the height needed to display the tab bar.  This
means we enlarge and move upwards the root window by two pixels and
later shrink and move it down when redisplay has calculated the new
size.

The attached patch tries to fix that.  Note that a simple

nlines != olines

is not sufficient since the tab bar occupies 2 lines while VALUE is 1.

Maybe we should do a similar thing for the tool and/or menu bars (but I
recall that some builds do process a VALUE > 1 specially for them).
