I'd like to have worlds that are bigger than the screen, wherein the user can scroll about using a floating desktop pager, a la Self's demo snapshot.

I've tried changing e.g., the height of the world, but it seems to snap right back. Anyone know what's doing that?

World size is derived from the display plugin and then scaled, if necessary. If you need a larger world, then you will have to intercept calls to primitive (92?) that gets width/height/depth and then scale it up. You will also need to program keys to pan World within the display screen. The changes are non- trivial.

See DisplayScreen class side methods, if you are still curious.
