How come it used to work before? (or didn't it, and we just didn't 
notice?)

BView::Bounds() is often used, and so it would really be nice if we 
could use a cached value.
Couldn't we just introduce another message that the server sends in 
case of an update? One that is only forwarded to the frame events if 
that flag is set?
Or just a broadcast a message to all views of that window to invalidate 
their cached data?
