Good day from Greg Bennett who is running sbcl-1.5.8 under linux mint 19.2 64-bit and mcclim code from mcclim-20191008-get via quicklisp.
I would like to learn more about the coordinate system behind the &key arguments left top right bottom in the call to make-application-frame. This seems to be a coordinate system for a device which defaults to the full size of the root window, whatever that is.
As far as I can tell (some) details might be in the package clim-utils but this does not seem to be part of the mcclim I am using. Pointers to its definition and to the device coordinate system would be much appreciated.
Cheers /Greg
Hey Greg!

I think that specification doesn't mandate, that top-level-sheet of the frame must be adopted to the graft, but in McCLIM that's always the case currently. Either way left,top,right,bottom are all relative to the sheet on which the application frame is started (graft is a special kind of sheet which represents the screen).
