So suppose I want the Sierra-style speech portraits to appear at X/Y 15,15 instead of 0,0, like I'm doing a game with a frame around the main screen, like Phantasmagoria I or Darkseed I or Temujin. Something like game.sierra_speech_x or something. You know, an offset. Shouldn't be too hard to implement, methinks.
Sounds reasonable enough, I'll add it to my list.
