I think (part of) the problem is that the FLTK backend does not honour the figure size properly when the figure is created, especially it does not take the menubar height into account, such that the total window height should the figure height plus the menubar height (the client area, excluding WM borders and titlebar).

My understanding is that the figure's "position" property should only include the plot area (does not include the menubar, titlebar, or toolbar).  Is that not correct?

Yes, it is.
