I fully agree with that.

I disagree with that: for some things, size_t would be the correct type,
and in that case, the FATE test should work. A misdesigned FATE test
should not direct the choice of type. Also, IIUC, somebody said the
issue was fixed.

For me, the definite argument is: All the rest of the code uses int for
frame size and coordinate, so new code should use int too unless there
is a very good and specific reason.

Note that while we disagree on the reasons, I think we agree on the
conclusion, which is what matter.
