Oberon misses some years of development...

Default display size of OLR is (1280-16)x(1024-32). This can be 
configured via environment variables OWIDTH and OHEIGHT. Negative values 
are relative to screen size. Or by changing the constants defaultWidth 
and defaultHeight inside OLR.Display.Mod and recompiling.

I don't (yet) suffer from it. But that might come soon.
