John, there's something about overscan I'd like to ask about…. Under 2.0 I started using a overscan WB – (about 704×480, if I recall). Was running it on a FlickerFixer monitor. It was great having all the WB space available. But I found that many programs that opened their own screens (regular sized – say 320×400) would open their screens in the top left corner, rather than centering them. This is unsightly, to say the least. Is this a WB problem, the programs problem, or what? There are enough like that to make me go back to running a non-overscan WB, just so I can have propertly centered screens with other progs. Frankly, I just wondered whose fault it is, and whether there is anything I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance. –jp–seattle–
