I'm using 2.8.6.  I didn't realize that stock item was missing, I'll 
include it in the next tarball for older versions of gtk.

Oops, sorry, I'll fix that too.

I think a comprise may be the best solution.  Perhaps switch to the 
closest X resolution available and use software scaling to get you the 
rest of the way there.

On at least one of my systems, I only have X set to use a single 
resolution.  I think that's common enough that it should be handled.

As Jim mentioned, this is a difficult thing to get right and I don't 
currently try to work around it at all.  The problem occurs when the 
mouse hits the edge of the physical screen.  The solution is most 
certainly to warp the mouse back to the center of the screen when it 
hits an edge.

FWIW, it's possible to reproduce this bug in the SDL version too.

Interesting, I'll have to look into this.

I'll find a keyboard with a windows key and figure out the proper scancode.

Thanks for the feedback!
