Re: Get widget size minus decorations

Hmm, it seems that I posted a reply to an imaginary question that I
thought I had posted to GWT. In case anyone is still wondering, that
question was: how to add a single image to a MenuBar?

To answer the original question, I went with getting the clientWidth
and clientHeight from the DOM. These values still include padding,
but that is actually good for what I wanted to do.

Regards,

z.
