You have to change the zp_* keys from gnopernicus.schemas file. The values from srconf/libsrconf/libsrconf.h are really used if no gconf value is found. The default schemas values are (0, 0) - (MAX_INT, MAX_INT). They will be truncated to (0, 0) - (screen width, screen height) for every user. Those values are chosen because a users use to use magnifier in full screen and not in partial magnified mode. NOTE: If you change a key in gnopernicus.schemas file, be sure you run "make install" after and "gconftool --shutdown" otherwise, when gnopernicus runs for second time is possible to use the old values because the gconf daemon keeps a "cache" for used keys.
