If there is a better way to do this, I'd like to know about it.
The following worked for me in Actor:
1) Set the size of the window to what you want the client size to be.
2) Get the client size of the window
3) Subtract the difference, and set the size of the window to a bigger size.
4) show the window.

The above are simple Actor calls.  I imagine that they have simple SDK
versions.
