nope, X is a window system. it's windows which is *not* window

That's just OO wrappers.
Knowing minimal size won't help you if the amount of
information simply doesn't fit.
somehow it still works for me.
Dialogs can be scrolled, but master-detail views can't:
master and detail views already reserve scrolling for
themselves, so it
can't be reused for the entire window, well, at least it won't
work
naturally.
i believe that we should stop here, as we are clearly talking
about different things. i can't even imagine why widget may
want to "reserve scrolling for itself" and what that means. and
i can't see why any part of window can't be scrolled,
especially when you have a clear widget hierarchy, and detail
views living in their own containers.
I'm talking about native UI getting screwed up on high DPI.
Native UI is supposed to fit whatever space it's given, otherwise
it works, but not as good as it's supposed to. Imagine your
desktop doesn't fit the screen and gets scrolled. On the other
hand web was supposed to be scrolled from the beginning, hence it
can better adapt to different settings.
