Unfortunately there's a hard-coded limit in Xastir, actually
probably many of them, w.r.t. X/Y resolution.  I _think_ you might
be able to go up to 15000x15000 but any more and we'd have to go
back in and tweak lots of code.  There may be some places in Xastir
where the hard-coded limits are less and you may run into problems.

There's a long-standing bug in X11 that has to do with 16-bit
numbers that we had to code around.  We could probably do
32767x32767 eventually with some coding changes, but no more.
