In general I prefer to have it go only to the list.  Thanks, though.  :)

Yes, I will try to find a chance to look at that in the next few days.

Ur, no, it doesn't affect my code.  I clearly wasn't paying enough
attention to what the function did when I wrote the doc string....  When
I look at the docs I'll look at that too, and window-relative-position,
since that's exactly what window-relative-position is supposed to do.

Why?  It was named viewport-offset to match the viewport-x-offset and
viewport-y-offset variables.  If you think it should be renamed, how
about viewport-offset-coords, and viewport-[xy]-offset-coords?  "Pixel"
in my mind suggests bits of light on the display, which isn't really
right here.  But I think viewport-offset is simplest.
