Well, actually it seems that it is only the position of the
containment in the corona... some containments are even further to the
right, with x coordinates of about 3800. So I think it's not really
the problem. What I need to understand is how and when these
coordinates are mapped to the physical screens. Can somebody shed some
light on this?
