That's part of the heuristic I will end up using.  I think the=
 Apple 
Cinema Displays are the stretchiest out there.

That's a good point, but as a multimon user, I have a personal 
interest in the matter, especially after having played several=
 games 
now that try to center themselves right between my monitors.

This is also a good point.  I don't mind the multimon hacking=
 about, 
but the nVidia "I'm just a big wide monitor as far you're=
 concerned" 
thing is kind of annoying because it's probably the single most 
prevalent multimon config out there.

As a short term hack I'll probably just have a check box in=
 graphics 
options to allow windowed mode along with a "use current screen 
resolution" check box which I'll use as a cue to do the centered=
 
window thing.
