I thought this was a backend related task not really belonging in
"core" octave. However I understand gnuplot does not give this info.

the fltk backend (quite stagnant at the moment) updates screensize
only since fltk only reports the width and height of the screen in
pixels, not in any other units, so I suppose we will have to use code
like you propose in it as well.
