I meant 1 here.

Currently, change_frame_size doesn't know anything about the various
platforms' requirements going beyond those of the frame's text area.

> Make a new function (change_frame_size_pixelwise for example), with the arguments above, and let change_frame_size call it with the last argument false.

And how would change_frame_size know what the new pixel dimensions of
the frame's text area are?
