Well, it's true it's not always intuitive. 592 gives similar results as 
hatari 1.7.0, but it would have been better if the height measured only 
the Atari's screen height, without counting the status bar.
This way, adding 2 or 3 lines in status bar would not have required to 
change the max height value.

But current code works this way, and unless we change it to count in a 
different way, it's easier for now to increase the value in the UI.
