Basically yes.  But with Gtk+ there is an additional complication.  Gtk tries to force the height increments itself if it finds that they aren't met, by resizing windows.  By setting resize pixelwise all hints are basically off so nothing of this happens.  An idea would be to turn hints off if we are going fullsize.
