Or maybe they just used the default, couldn't be bothered, or didn't even 
realise?  I still think if you want to enforce some fixed aspect ratio you 
should have to add it specifically, as it is not the usual behaviour needed 
when rendering.

So what, I have to search for the correct camera block, figure out what 
aspect ratio is used, compare it to my monitor aspect ratio, work out the 
dimensions so that it will fill my monitor (either width of height is the 
same, the other dimension is calculated), render the image, then load it 
into an image program and crop it to exactly the monitor dimensions?  Sure 
it's possible, but a sensible default behaviour would make it easier...
