Thank you very much for your help Jeff, this works for me. However, I
noticed that after I gave the command window.resize(1024,768) in the
Python Console and create a screenshot of the Epiphany window, that the
screenshot was in fact 1034 by 795 pixels. After compensating for this
inaccuracy by giving the command window.resize(1014,741), the screenshot
of the window is exactly 1024 by 768 pixels.
