Hardly 100% clear.  Are you talking about changing the behavior of
`display-pixel-height' or defining a new function to do that?

You refer to your "original suggestion".  Do you mean this suggestion:

>> Wouldn't it make more sense for display-pixel-height/width
>> to return the height available for display?

and

>> "Available" means it does not include portions that are not
>> usable by any window.

If so, that sounds like a proposal to change the meaning/behavior of the
function.  I, for one, object to that (see the thread).

I have no objection to your defining a new function that does that (or anything
else), however.
