Hi,

I don't know if this will help your problem, but when I tried to find 
the exact height of the window menus so that I could show a popup window 
(instead of the menu) I had noticed that the top position of the window 
minus the border differed depending on the libraries.

For example:

   For Each h As Component In Components
     If h.Name Like "gb.qt*" Then
       $iMenuH = hFont.TextHeight(sMenu) + Style.BoxFrameHeight
     Else If h.Name Like "gb.gtk*" Then
       $iMenuH = hFont.TextHeight(sMenu) + (Style.BoxFrameHeight * 2)
     Endif
   Next


So the popup for QT libraries had to start slightly lower than for GTK

Something similar I had done for the left side again with the help of 
Style but I couldn't find the latest version of my test and the old ones 
didn't work right, sorry :-(

Maybe Benoit could clarify things :-)
