The image header window size hack really ought to be deprecated and left behind. It never was much good; aside from anything else it is part of the 'assume there is always a window' world.

We can (at least, should be able to) get the window metrics via the HostWindowProxy classes. It is, after all, exactly what John & I wrote the stuff for in 2004. It seems like one should simply read the window position & size when snapshotting and use that to open the window(s) on startup.
