What I want to do is to specify the initial size of a frame as a percentage of the desktop size.

jackdaniel: I note that in some recent version, pressing Shift-Space doesn't insert a space in the interactor anymore.

Sorry the stupid question but when I look at the docs then a graft object returns the resolution of the display server and not the resolution of the monitor, but maybe I'm looking at the wrong place -> http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw445/CLIM/html/climguide-321.htm

indeed, it doesn't seem annoying - I've accepted it because drei is expected to mimic emacs, and S-space is bound to space on emacs

edgar-rft: graft represents the screen, so it is expected to return the resolution of the screen

jackdaniel: Shift-Space is bound to space in pretty much anything. It would be a nightmare to type antyning in upper case if not. :-)

jackdaniel: but loke asked about the resolution of the *monitor* what can be totally different than the current screen resolution
13:39:23
jackdaniel
I don't know what is the resolution of the monitor, so I've assumed that it is a question about the screen

I was not trying to nitpick, I'm a graphic card and monitor electrician, and at least I have learned now what a graft object is :-)

I like the second definition of graft here: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/graft

" Deceitful or fraudulent use of one's position, especially in public office, to obtain personal profits or advantages." :-)

OK, I was quite confused with the mirroring code (and expectations from the backend), and now it is clear - current code simply doesn't allow moving top-level managed sheets

that's why my text backend did receive somewhat surprising calls from the core when I was testing how mirrors are modified
