The clusterssh program is a perl::Tk script which executes

problem with the remote perl::Tk routing not getting screen size

the Macbook Pro to sleep. One thing I have not tried doing is
opening a new xterm in the running X11, and executing the
commands from it to see if it gets new size information on
startup while an open xterm does not.
I have to plead ignorance in how X11 handles display geometry in
one screen, much less multiple monitors.
XQuartz doesn't even try currently; it would be nice if monitor
changes were passed on as XRandR extension events, but right now the X
session isn't informed of any changes and you need to restart XQuartz
to get it to see the change.
I keep wanting to find time to poke at XRandR support, but truth be
told I'm a bit too far behind on X11 internals at this point (my
experience is from early-mid 90s, and things have changed quite a lot
since then).
