Empirically I've found that in XNA 4.0 I need to use 

GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Width
GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Height

when running windowed mode, as I find

GraphicsDevice.DisplayMode.Width
GraphicsDevice.DisplayMode.Height

gives me the resolution of the entire screen.

Hopefully this helps someone else out.
