No, I could find no way to identify the "windowing system" to which an app is displayed. I have customers who use Exceed or ReflectionX and the default fonts/window sizes chosen for, say Tru64, don't look right under Exceed/ReflectionX, which is why I would like to dectect this. Our application does allow the user to customize said sizes/fonts, but not until after running it with the default fonts/sizes for Tru64. Ho, hum...
