The patch looks good to me so I'm sending it almost unchanged to wine-patches
(giving proper credit of course).

The only change I'm making (and thus submitting separately) is for
SM_CYMAXIMIZED. Actually I was wrong and it was still at -45 (I had based my
calculation on 1400 instead of 1440). Now, why -45?

The reason is that this value is based on a default Win95 installation which has
the 'Start Menu' at the bottom. But even on Windows the size of this menu bar
can vary (the user can resize it), and I have even seen users put it on the side!
On Linux it may be there or not be there depending on the Windows
manager/desktop (Gnome/KDE). Similarly its size changes from distribution to
distribution. So until we can query the window manager/desktop as to the actual
size of the reserved area I think we should just hard-code SM_CYMAXIMIZED at
'height of screen + 2 borders', just like for SM_CXMAXIMIZED.
And that's what I'm sending as the second patch.
