But in change_frame_size_1 we use "this value" to adjust the sizes of
Emacs windows.  Moreover, why communicate the presence of a scrollbar to
the window manager and the toolkit?  Suppose I do

(set-frame-parameter nil 'vertical-scroll-bars nil)
(set-window-scroll-bars nil 16 'right)

then my window has scrollbars and the frame doesn't.  Confusing.
