OK, on second thoughts, it might be better to do: XWindowAttributes xwa; XGetWindowAttributes(dpy, DefaultRootWindow(dpy), &xwa); Then you can get the width and height from xwa.width and xwa.height and use that - simpler than trying to do it with XGetWindowProperty(). Think that will work. Give it a try, see if that is what you want or not.
