When Jan made that change, did GTK3 already exist?  If not, then we
could avoid using that code for GTK3.

Alternatively, we could disallow making frames smaller than 4 lines,
because making our code jump through hoops for uses cases that are
supposed to be rare, to say the least, makes little sense to me.
