This almost works on OS X.  The only problem is that it's not taking
into account menubars and windowbars.  eg, if I have a screen
resolution of 640x480, setting the window _content_ to that size will
make the entire window including its titlebar about 500px tall.  Not
only that, but the system-wide menubar at the top of the screen also
reduces the available space, meaning that the maximum window size
ought to be around 640x456.  (If you wanted to get even pickier, that
will changing depending on the interface resolution...)

Do you know of any way for an application to determine how big it can
be, then?

Presumably your patch does nothing to move gitk back on screen if the
monitor it was on last time has gone away?  Or are we still blaming
the window manager for that?

With the patch it no longer specifies a position, so yes we blame the
window manager now if it doesn't put the window somewhere visible. :)
