Could it be located somewhere near the center !?

Usually I have 9 24x80 terminal windows with "default" font
filling the virtual screen area. Because they are difficult
for me to read, I use a lower resolution and the physical
screen is about 1/4 of the virtual screen area. I have had
it that way for almost 10 years, so I am used to the panning.

E and gnome really have made huge progress in a short time.
