I don't think it's wrong, per se.  Though the far more important
number for me is the size of the content view.  For example, if you're
working on a word processing application, it's kind of nice to lay out
the window at a size with the same ratio as 8.5x11 (or A4, if you
prefer).

But Quincey is correct in emphasizing the relationship between
controls over the size of the window.  After all, the user can resize
the word processing document window to whatever size he likes.
