What were you trying to do?
Make a very big window and see how big it was in real units
What's wrong:
xwininfo didn't do a very good job of converting:
==> Width: 65531 (22 yards, 2 feet, 818.84 inches)
What should have happened:
It should have said
==> Width: 65531 (22 yards, 2 feet, 2.84 inches)
In other words, it should have remembered to subtract
the number of inches it converted to yards and feet from
the number it got for inches.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:

Please mention anything else you think is worth saying:
:-)
