Well, if one wants to be b**chy one could point out that there are a 
fair few things
like this in the IDE;

However,

If one wants to be kind one could point out that the large number of 
good things
make the 'problematic' things look relatively insignificant;

And,

If one wants to be realistic one could point out that the Geometry 
manager is
almost unused (possibly because it is unusable???) so, frankly, hardly 
warrants
the attention of the developers - and, may, like one's appendix, be removed
without doing any real damage.

----------------------------------

Much easier is to make one's stack to some fairly standard resolution (I 
normally
favour 1024 x 768) and then have a catch-all script to stop the thing if 
the end-user's
VDU is set to a lower resolution.

Quite apart from anything else; the geometry manager is just too much like
hard work.
