Re: How does one get the screen coordinates of the workspace?

[Jim Charlton <charltn gmail com>]

I use gtkmm and get screen size before opening the application window in 
order to make sure it fits on the display.  the equivalent gtk/gdk calls 
(I think) .... use gtk_window_get_screen() to get the gdk window from 
the gtk window.  Then from the gdk window I use gdk_window_get_height() 
to get the height, and then gtk_window_resize() to resize the original 
gtk window to fit.

It has been a while since I looked at the code... but I think that was it.
