Be careful with terminology: I read your request (the dimensions of the monitor) as a request for physical dimensions, like a 19" flatscreen. I expect you really want pixel area, like 1280x1024 pixels.
Also be careful with assumptions: not all setups use just one monitor, and the combined surface area is not always a simple rectangle. Thus the best window dimensions for a given application is not at all consistent or obvious. Add to that the concerns for various trays and other edge-warts, and you may not even be able to accurately request the usable desktop region in one shot.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
