One problem with this is that desk accessories probably only check the
resolution they're running at the time they load.  If you changed resolutions
on them, they would probably display their output incorrectly and/or open
windows that are too big/small.  In theory, it would be nice, though.
If this had been implemented from the beginning, desk accessories would
know to check the resolution whenever they opened a window.
