These use DisplayWidth() and DisplayHeight(), provided by Xlib.  They
return the size in pixels of the specified screen.

A while ago on gnome-list there was quite a big discussion about what a
GNOME-compliant window manager should have.  It seems that about the
only things we can specify for compliancy are window manager hints and
session management.  Please look at the gnome-list archives for that
information.
