The intial/default window should be big enough to contain the initial/default content, regardless of the configuration of the screen(s)/monitor(s). "The GUI," whether it's something near the bottom, like X11, or something more complicated, like GTK or Qt, should have the information and/or the API to make the widgets usable and the text readable, possibly based on user configuration (e.g., I like 6 point type on my 288dpi laptop display; other people might like 12 point type on their 72dpi big screen monitor). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
