Hmm...if it has a nested window, I can't see what's so difficult in resizing it - should be no problem at all and as Anselm said its the client's job. For now I can only tell that the problem doesn't occur on another UltraSPARC running NetBSD. So it may be Sun's X-Server as well as that Solaris-binary. Regarding that grey area, however, I have to say I don't care about the color it has, but I'd sure like to see what the size of my paper is. So I need some frame around it. And obviously the area outside the paper is wasted. (Besides the area containing the controls.) And I can't figure out how to resolve this on any system if the client's window has another aspect ratio than the page shown. So I'd not blame MS on that, though I don't like them at all... Whether one needs nested windows in order to do that is, of course, another question.
