Re: [dev] wmii display size issue

Here is the output:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1050 x 1680, maximum 4096 x 4096

As you can see, the current screen is 1050x1680 (it's a vertically
oriented wide-screen). As I mentioned, the wmii window is in the upper
left corner and is only taking up 1024x600 (the laptop screens
resolution). The rest of the space is available to the mouse and the
wmii menus brought up by alt-p and alt-a display at the very bottom of
the monitor rather than the bottom of the box in the upper left.
