This function proves to be not "the size of the whole graphical
desktop" but instead "the size of the desktop when emacs started"!

At least as tested on emacs 21.1 running on Windows XP.  When I resize
the display during a run of emacs, later evaluations of
(display-pixel-width) return the earlier value, not the present size of
the display.
