It relies on tcl/tk to measure the screen size.  When you don't load the
gui, you don't load tcl/tk, and thus you are stripped of the tool you need
to get the screen size.

ok, thanks, now it's clear!

Does the tclpd library execute with the -nogui flag?  If so it should be pretty
simple to use that to return the screensize.


ok. I'm not sure how to check whether tclpd executes w/ -nogui.
How can I check?

I'm following your suggestion and make a small tclpd object.
