You could set The MaxWidth,MaxHeight values very large (like ~0) 
These are interpreted as unsigned and intuition will clip them to
the actually max size of the screen. This way all you have to be able 
to deal with is the new window sizes sent to you when the user sizes 
you out, and you don't have to actually inquire the size of the screen. 
This works under 1.2, don't remember if it works under 1.1
This is a legal construct, and some of our programs already make use of
this feature.
