Is there a way that I can get the resolution of the display?  I need to
modify a program such that it can run correctly on either a Sun Workstation
or an NCD-16 X terminal.  The NCD has a higher resolution than the Sun and
so the widget placement and winow sizes are all off.

Unfortunately, there's no money or time to re-write it to be resolution
independent.  I hope there's some way for me to know which display I'm
using and then do some conversion.  I know it's a kludge but....
