When I change the resolution on my Windows XP machine,
the result of 'winfo screenwidth .' doesn't change.
So, there's no way a Tk application can learn that the
screen it's operating on is now a different size.

    Currently that information is only read inside TkpOpenDisplay.

    Jeff,

    I believe your recent patch fixes this. Can you confirm?

    This has been fixed in the HEAD and core-8-4-branch (8.4.8).
    We probably want a callback or event as well, but it does
    recognize the change now.
