+.SH NAME
+DMXChangeDesktopAttributes \- change global bounding box
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>
+.sp
+.nf
+.BI "int DMXChangeDesktopAttributes(Display " *dpy ,
+.BI " unsigned int " mask ,
+.BI " DMXDesktopAttributes " *attr );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B DMXChangeDesktopAttributes()
+resizes the bounding box of the whole screen when using the Xinerama
+extension. Otherwise, it has no effect on the screen layout.
+An attribute mask is placed in
+.I mask
+and the attributes to change are placed in
+.IR attr .
+.PP
+The values that are used to compute
+.I mask
+are as follows:
+.sp
+.nf
+DMXDesktopWidth
+DMXDesktopHeight
+DMXDesktopShiftX
+DMXDesktopShiftY
+.fi
+.PP
+The
+.B DMXDesktopAttributes
+structure is:
+.sp
+.nf
+typedef struct {
+ unsigned int width;
+ unsigned int height;
+ int shiftX;
+ int shiftY;
+} DMXDesktopAttributes;
+.fi
+.PP
+.I width " and " height
+specify the new width and height for the bounding box.
+.I shiftX " and " shiftY
+specify where the Xinerama origin will be placed with respect to the
+origin of the new bounding box. This allows the left and upper edges of
+the bounding box to be changed without changing the visual position of
+the windows on the desktop. If
+.I width " or " height
+is not specified, the current values will be used. If
+.I shiftX " or " shiftY
+is not specified, 0 will be used.
+.PP
+All coordinants are in the global DMX coordinant system. If Xinerama is
+not active, an error will be generated.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.B DMXChangeDesktopAttributes()
+will return 0 on success,
+.B DmxBadXinerama
+if Xinerama is not active,
+.B DmxBadValue
+if the size of the bounding box is too large, and
+.B DmxBadReply
+if there was a protocol error.
+.PP
+.B DMXChangeDesktopAttributes()
+can generate
+.B BadLength
+(if the request is malformed, which should never happen when using this
+library interface), and
+.B BadValue
+(if any values are out of range).
