No, I think that's it -- it's a hook that's run when the display changes
size, not when any Emacs frame changes size.

But I wonder whether triggering this from an xrandr context makes much
sense these days.  Surely on most (any?) modern GNU/Linux systems,
plugging in a new screen will trigger a Dbus message?
