Robert,

One of the primary reasons I use NX instead of VNC on my LAN is because
it's got an "available area" setting for the display size.  I don't know
how it's done, but it's much more convenient than picking a size w/ VNC
and toggling back and forth between full-screen and window.

I wonder if you could apply the same tricks to teacher tool in order to
provide the feature these guys are requesting.
