oh, now i feel stupid... ;-) yes, i changed the resolution in OS X and it
works fine. full screen is now intollerably fuzzy, but in X i at least get
an acceptably sized window.

well, i'll just have to see which option i prefer. i must admit now that
i'm seeing it, i don't like the smaller resolution all that much, and MoL
is a bit slower, though it's still very workable. so i'll probably be
running full-screen as well, but at least it's nice to know i have the
option. ;-)

thanks again!
