- Thanks to the wonders of PostScript, you can do this by changing 1 line
- of code to substitute the coordinates of the workspace window for those
- of the main screen. I think I even left a function in the pswraps to get
- this value for you. However, it may take more memory, it's hard to get
- good performace from a window that exists on different bit-depth screens,
- and I didn't like the effect of stars originating "between" the screens,
- so I didn't include this behavior.
