It's fixable, so no one has really looked into it.  The easiest fix is
to run in Morphic.  The second easiest is to fix MVC to cope with a
64x64 window.

But yes, using the size from the .image file would be sensible, aside
from all these other issues.  This is *real* easy, since all the right
variables are already present -- I'll commit the code for it to SF now.

It would also make sense to allow changing the size of the virtual
display, but that isn't even implemented for headful displays right now.
