It's contrastive, against "non-crude" or "refined" ;-)

IIRC, there are ways to change the default values of the non-client
parts of a Windows window (borders, height of the title bar, etc.) If
not directly to the user, then through add-ons (WindowBlinds, etc.).
Any way to compute the dimensions that does not come directly from the
window manager is going to be approximate.

In fact, the safest default is to assume that the frame is
narrower/shorter than it really is, which will err towards having to
force it onscreen. So (* (frame-height) (frame-char-height)) and (*
(frame-width) (frame-char-width)) are good defaults.

May I ask why? If you're having trouble with desktop-restore-frames, I
certainly would be interested in knowing about it.
