This is a separate bug called out in bug 15775.
  The outerWidth and outerHeight properties of a window always report their
initial values, regardless of whether the window has been resized. This happens
only on gtk, and it happens because the nsWindow from which the size is fetched
for JS isn't the same as the window that gets the resize message from JS and the OS,
and the two don't talk to each other.
  dbaron@fas.harvard.edu posted a test case that went effectively like this:

<html>
<head><script type="text/javascript">
function squawk() {
  alert(
  "window.screenX = " + window.screenX + "\n" +
  "window.screenY = " + window.screenY + "\n" +
  "window.outerHeight = " + window.outerHeight + "\n" +
  "window.outerWidth = " + window.outerWidth + "\n" +
  "window.innerHeight = " + window.innerHeight + "\n" +
  "window.innerWidth = " + window.innerWidth + "\n" +
  "screen.availWidth = " + screen.availWidth + "\n" +
  "screen.availHeight = " + screen.availHeight + "\n" +
  "screen.availLeft = " + screen.availLeft + "\n" +
  "screen.availTop = " + screen.availTop);
}
</script></head>
<body>
<form>
  <input type=button value="win pos/size" onclick="squawk()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

  Note that the original bug report (bug 15775) also mentioned window position.
That has now been fixed, though see bug 23779. Also note that I believe the underlying
reason for this problem is bug 14513.
