I was looking at the problem yesterday in the theme file, and it seems 
as though it *might* be some non-theme bug, meaning that it *might* be a 
Metacity issue that the new theme could trigger.  It *could* also be 
something else, too -- again, I'm not really sure.

Anyway, the theme is calculating the titlebar height in two different 
places and each place gets different results.  Both use the title_height 
+ 4 pixels (for padding), but are simply in different places.  I'll look 
at it more.  It could be on my side of things, but I'm not seeing how it 
could be (at the moment, at least).
