Form ClientWidth

Original Reporter info from Mantis: zex2011

Description:

I know that Form.ClientWidth = Form.Width is by design, caused by GTK incompleteness, but this definitely shouldn't be the case. This is a big issue, since TForm is the most important GUI component in a program.

If GTK has problems getting its outer window size (which is ridiculous by itself), then only under GTK should be ClientWidth = Width. Other windowing systems shouldn't be punished for GTK's incompleteness.

Window dimensions can be handled manually, by calling OS functions separately for each OS / windowing system, but this kinda defeats the purpose of LCL. Please consider reimplementing this important functionality.
