To be fair, we've heard a lot of complaints about it at Sun over the  
years, too, where people are frequently hot-desking between hardware  
that supports different resolutions.

Unfortunately, as others have said, it's a difficult problem to solve  
well, and not one we've ever really had time to look into ourselves.   
At this stage, it might well be more productive to focus on making  
sure that similar issues don't afflict GNOME 3.x.

Cheeri,
Calum.
