Rather, the default UI settings take up the entire screen, as the UI is 
primarily used for the frontend, which makes sense to use the entire 
screen.  The skin/theme has absolutely nothing to do with it.  It will 
take however much room you specify it use in the frontend, and will 
follow command line overrides such as --geometry XxY, --windowed, and 
--mouse-cursor.
