Re: GNUstep Code Freeze

[Fred Kiefer]

I would start with checking the screen resolution code as this seems to 
only affect monitors with strange geometry.

Sebastian, could you try to re-enable the old code in the method 
resolutionForScreen: (XGServerWindow.m) and see whether this make any 
difference? Could you also report the result of the command
xdpyinfo | grep -B2 resolution
on a monitor where this problem exists?
