That's a display manager.

So it seems that your window manager skips the decorations when a
frame is adjacent to an edge by just moving that frame outside the
display by the size of the decoration.  Some window managers make this
customizable IIRC.

But the interesting case is whether specifying 'user-position' would
have any impact when the dock and the menu bar line are present on the
same frame, that is, the single display case.
