I used to include a patch in the Fink package which changed
system-gschemrc to take into account the default size of the OS X dock
(which cuts into the screen real estate, and isn't obvious from the
root window size reported by the X server). But it was hard-coded to
fit a 1024x768 display (and it assumed the dock was on the bottom), so
I took it out.

Lately, I just hit the green "maximize" button, as someone else
suggested. That does seem to be aware of the size of the dock.
