Not really. Pay close attention to the wording in the proposal. The
proposal governs DEFAULT window size. The user may specify (later) to open
on a much, much larger area of screen real-estate, but by default, it must
not exceed the dimensions of the workspace.

A friend of mine on campus, who works in the supercomputer array, showed
me a -three headed- machine once... Had a virtual screen about 3072x768
shared between three monitors, horizontally. X is a wonderful thing. :)
