It depends.  Usually it's pixels, but if the application is primarily
text based (like Xterm) the geometry can be in character cells.  At least,
I think that's the case... I've been using KDE (which doesn't give you
geometry changes when you move or resize a window) for so long now that
I'm no longer certain about that.  This, BTW, is KDE's biggest downfall,
IMO. Though there are several others that are close in the running...
