Could you give names of the applications you've used for the comparison?
E.g. was this Kword vs. Abiword etc (and not Kate vs. Abiword :))?

I think it would then be pretty straightforward to get some hard numbers
with xresponse.


Note: In Maemo UI user cannot resize windows and applications themselves
do that very rarely for dialogs, so this is fairly moot point for Maemo.
