I assume you are running under X11? If you want to run in the root window underneath everything else, then set GGI_DISPLAY=X:-inroot. (This is about to change as the new X target under development uses the syntax "-inwin=root" instead). If you want to just open a normal window, unfortunately the only way to tell what the maximum size of a dressed window is is through using a window manager extension which is not available on all X servers. The X target has not yet implemented support for this X11 extension. The new X target does a little better than the current one -- it inflates the window to 90% of the screen size figuring 10% should be enough for window dressing. This is the default behavior in the new target, versus the 640x480 window which is currently the default. You can probably expect the new X target to be checked into CVS sometime this week or next. -- Brian
