True.  In particular, I'm not sure how Linux deals with this, but I find 
that on Win 8.1 HiDPI the screen bounds we get from Windows are already 
non-adjacent in many mixed-DPI cases.

That's also something that might be helped by getting this out there and 
getting feedback and test cases on where the current rounding might not 
do the best thing...
