[XBoard-devel] ToDo 346: Choose Better Default Windows Sizes

[Mark Ioli]

Commited this change to select a smaller default board size than the largest the 
screen will allow (4 sizes smaller), and also places the ICS Interaction window 
beside it filling up the rest of the screen. This mainly addresses the initial 
startup of WinBoard when there is no WinBoard.ini file. If there are already 
settings for board placement but not for the interaction window, it will simply 
make the interaction window the same dimensions as the board, in line with it 
from the right side of the screen.

Working on a similar change for xboard, only for default board size though since 
it uses the console window it is started in as the ICS interaction window.
