The main part of the problem is that a large fraction of commercial and
other applications *bypass QuickDraw* and write directly to the screen.

If this problem were solved, then using 640x400 on the video overlay card
would be a problem because everything drawn would be squashed to half
height.  (On the mac you always have square pixels; resolution changes
but aspect ratio does not.)
