(coordinates_in_window): Handle computations for positions on the vertical bar and fringes differently for window-system frames. Consider some pixels near the vertical bar as on the bar if the frame doesn't have vertical scroll bars. Associate positions between mode or header lines with the right window, the left one.

;;; Commentary:
;; This utility allows you to automatically cut regions to a fortune
;; file.  In case that the region stems from an article buffer (mail or
;; news), it will try to automatically determine the author of the
;; fortune.  It will also allow you to compile your fortune-database
;; as well as providing a function to extract a fortune for use as your
;; signature.
;; Of course, it can simply display a fortune, too.
;; Use prefix arguments to specify different fortune databases.

;;; Installation:

;; Please check the customize settings - you will at least have to modify the
;; values of `fortune-dir' and `fortune-file'.

;; I then use this in my .gnus:
;;(message "Making new signature: %s" (fortune-to-signature "~/fortunes/"))
;; This automagically creates a new signature when starting up Gnus.
;; Note that the call to fortune-to-signature specifies a directory in which
;; several fortune-files and their databases are stored.

;; If you like to get a new signature for every message, you can also hook
;; it into message-mode:
;; (add-hook 'message-setup-hook
;;           '(lambda ()
;;              (fortune-to-signature)))
;; This time no fortune-file is specified, so fortune-to-signature would use
;; the default-file as specified by fortune-file.

;; I have also this in my .gnus:
;;(add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook
;;	  '(lambda ()
;;	     (define-key gnus-article-mode-map "i" 'fortune-from-region)))
;; which allows marking a region and then pressing "i" so that the marked
;; region will be automatically added to my favourite fortune-file.
