	I'd like to get access to the root window and be able to size
and scroll it.  I'm guessing I can follow the parent pointers of my own
windows back to the root, but once I've got a handle, what do I need to do
to size it?  Do I need to replace the root window with my own new window?
Or can I just reallocate its bitmap somehow?

	Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
