	Why is it that the components of the XPoint struct are
shorts, the x and y values taken as parameters to Xlib calls are
int's, and the height and width taken by Xlib calls are unsigned
ints (especially why unsigned)? Why is there not a single object
type to reflect the display size? Thanks in advance.
