   The screen centering actually involves quite some "voodoo".  It does have 
to do with the results from the XF86VM query.  The best thing I can suggest 
is to have a look at the code in wintvmain.cpp where it does the centering 
and see if you can determine where the calculation goes wrong for you.  It's 
really nasty code right now and I apologize, but I just can't work on this 
right now.  As I have told several other people, I have new code for some of 
this stuff, and other parts have to be rewritten still.  There are fixme's 
listed all through there. :)   Please bear with us.  KDE 3.0 is quite a 
time-consumer and I am finishing my last few months of university right now 
too.  I'll get back to some serious hacking at this stuff soon though.
