Just add a hidden input field to the form before submit in pre-ajax style:
// not tested, probably has errors ... not robust at all (for
instance, doesn't handle multiple forms in a page)
var windowSize = document.createElement("input");
windowSize.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
windowSize.setAttribute("name", "window_size");
windowSize.setAttribute("id", "window_size");
windowSize.setAttribute("value", window.width + "x" + window.height);
document.getElementsByTagName()[0].appendChild(windowSize);
Or something like that ...
