A friend and I were considering undertaking our first joint programming effort,
and though that as a shake-down project, we would try and build a simple
"hot-key" program that would allow one to swap between low-med resolution
with the stroke of a key.  

I seem to remember reading something here in months past about the subject
of changing resolutions within programs, and was wondering if someone who
remebers the gist of the conversations would be willing to give me a brief
summary of what was said then.

Also, is there any way to force a resolution change WITHOUT a resulting
reboot of the system.  I mean, from desktop (med) to desktop (low) and vice-versa?

Any help would be appreciated.
