Thanks Tor.  One more question if I may....

Suppose I have two monitors, each of resolution 1024x768.  The monitors are placed side-by-side to cover a 
total screen size of 2048x768.  I have a GdkWindow of some description situated at co-ordinates 900 pixels 
(x) and 0 pixels (y).

If the window is (say) 600x600 pixels, it's bounding rectangle should return 900,0,600,600  Is 
gdk_window_get_frame_extents() the correct way to retrieve this info?  I don't seem to be able to find much 
information about it.
