You'll want to initialize these integers to something in
config_startup(), then you don't need the elses during parsing.

Would I be correct in thinking that setting one to two is equivalent
to setting the other to one half? (If they were not integers). If so,
you use probably config_parse_relative_number(), then you can set both
of them from one number in rc.xml given as 3/5 instead. (You probably
need to init denom to 1 yourself). (And yes, I know they're called
rational numbers, the relative is because they were used for
screen-relative coordinates). :)
