| Ah, I guess you are using the default (45x45) tiles?  :-)

Correct,  I didn't change anything from the defaults.

| I tested the patch and it fit ok on my 800x600 screen, but
| I was using 30x30 tiles...   (More than the map window, this

| left-hand side.)  (The size of the map used in the game can

| Personally I think 45x45 tiles are too large for a 800x600
| screen; this is partly why we include a 30x30 tileset in the
| distribution.

It'd be best to set the defaults depending on screen size and
resolution, so you don't need to go for the lowest common
denominator.
