In fact, there IS a case when these lines are usable: when some
app maps a huge window, which doesn't fit to screen (a frequent case is a
Netscape driven by poorly written javascript). And with these two
additional rectangles you can at leat understand how much of a window is
on the screen when you drag it.
BTW, what's that with these frames which "makes the code much more
complicated and slower"? The get_outline_rects() looks simple.
