Apps draw off edge of client display #12

* server version: monotone checkout 20/10/09
* client setup: NVidia TwinView? 1280x1024 + 1680x1050

Running with the latest code to get the server.py fix for a larger virtual
fb than the client display.

However since the apps do not know the real dimensions of the client they
can behave badly with regards to drawing off the client screen.

E.g. kmail has pop up menus when right clicking on a mail to move it
elsewhere. This pops up menu of mailboxes, where a folder exists then
another popup appears, etc. You navigate through the folder structure using
popups. Using xpra these appear off screen making the feature impossible to
use.
