Ah, I see. The old [ortho] made gemwin width always 8 units (not 4 as I
said before).

I get that, I was using the [rectangle] example only to illustrate the
invisible render window of 500x500px. 

My initial task that got me into investigating changes in [ortho] is
rendering a cylinder that fits exactly into a window of a given size.
It was very easy to do in the last Gem release, but I don't seem able
to do it with current Gem. 

See attached patch (it is rendered as intended only in "old" Gem)

Thanks for clarifying.
