Then we have a different perception of the reactions.

I guess, I was the only one who actually checked the results of
`display-mm-width' and `display-mm-height' with the final patch
applied. Here they are again for reference:
display-mm-* display-mm-*
Real size without patch with patch
Width 285mm 370 296
Height 215mm 277 222
I'd say this is a vast improvement. Until now nobody showed any
evidence that the patch leads to more inaccurate results on other
machines compared to the current code.

No, I haven't given up on that. I modified the patch for frame.el for
it to be able to cope with multiple displays and provided it in
<URL:http://mid.gmane.org/address@hidden>. Nobody replied
to this message. I provided that patch (again) together with the
patch for w32fns.c in
<URL:http://mid.gmane.org/address@hidden>.
