I use Epoch in OpenWindows 2.0.  I`d like to modify minbuf.el so that
the minibuffer is attached to a screen without any overlap.  The two
approaches I (perhaps naively) thought of were to (1) take the full
height of the minibuffer-screen into account (including the OW title
bar) or (2) make the minibuffer screen displayed without a title bar.

I can't seem to do (1) because (epoch::screen-height (minibuf-screen))
does not return the height of the window including the title bar.  I
don't know how to go about doing (2).  My workaround so far has
consisted of adding 30 to the calculated value of Y for the call to
'move-screen' in 'resize-minibuffer-screen-with-anchor-screen'.  30
works out about right, but I don't like this rather crube hack.

Are either of these options viable?  Are there others?
