This is the case for the native menu bar and the native tool bar.

This is the case for toolkit menu/tool bar.

These values are zero for toolkit menu/tool bar.  They are not the same as the 
frame parameter with similar name.  This is quite obvious when reading the source.

Notice that change_frame_size takes lines/columns as arguments, not pixels, so 
windows can only be sized in those increments.
