Hi,
That's a good point.. I remember adding that something like 4 years ago..
the purpose was that, when you had your chat window maximized, aMSN would
remember it's size (your screen resolution) and when you opened a new one,
it would give it the same size but would place it in the middle of the
screen, so you end up with a huge window that overflows from the screen..
that was the ugly fix I had at the time. But since we recently added the
feature of aMSN saving whether the window is actually in the 'maximized'
state, this is not needed anymore.
Actually there are two places where this code should be deleted.. in
CreateContainerWindow and in CreateToplevelWindow (for those who disabled
tabbed chatting).
I did it but it looks like SVN is not working at the moment, I'll commit it
again once SVN works...

Yeah, I tried to fix that, but it seems that tk can only give us the primary
display's sizes so we can't get info on the second display...

lol@ mosquito...
I've searched before and I've searched again now and found this :
http://wiki.tcl.tk/10872
Maybe using that info, I can craft something that would prevent the dual
screen bugs..

Actually, that's not true, Tk had that defect, but one of the aMSN
developers wrote a workaround that to make sure it detects line wraps, and
iirc, Tk integrated our patch in their lib. I also just tested it and it
does work correctly.. there might be some glitches, but it will mostly work
correctly, detect line wraps, etc...

aMSN, no.. but Tcl/Tk most probably a PITA to port....
Thanks for the mail!
