Dear, if we should mean by „screen” just any „large rectangular matrix of pixels we can paint on” — then the whole discussion has no sense whatsoever, and I should IYO be pleased, that the two functions return to me, well, anything at all. Just in such case — you forgot(?) to add — the use of the functions, that return „just something”, has no purpose. > What do you mean by "Screen" and why ? You already know, what I mean — since you've already guessed it: the physical screen I have. Why? Because that's the area where the window of my program will appear. What makes you think, that the creators of these functions, when designing them years ago, meant anything different at that time, than „resolution of physical screen handled by its Xserver”? -- regards, Zbigniew
