It's a utility to resize/reposition windows as soon as they are created. Thanks for the pointer. I had absolutely no knowledge of the existence of such a program. It looks pretty nice, but, according to many tutorials I have quickly read, it will not help me, as it can, among other things, put windows at given coordinates, minimize, fullscreen, center, etc. One point which is clear is that the window on the PNG screenshot is already minimized. Consequently, it cannot be displayed smaller (as some text would be missing, except if there exists a magic program which can also resize the text [negligible], buttons, and other stuff [not negligible] composing the window, thus making it smaller), whatever the program it is done with. The best thing which could be done by this program would be to make it appear fullscreen (but not very practical) [(fullscreen)], and to remove unuseful stuff ([undecorate]). Coupling these two things could help the content of the window to take less place, consequently showing buttons, and I shall use this solution if no other one is found. - -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ - -- Every cloud has a silver lining. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAktm4nUACgkQM0LLzLt8MhypTgCfTf4EcmlayyLJWYjS97D5HfyX 2tkAniMocB9PwyTAZmuPuIvz5/0wTHwC =v8c5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

(There is actually no other solution, and when one buys a netbook with a small resolution, one should assume it.) These days, it seems that most application designers assume that a 1024x768 desktop is the lowest common denominator. They assume that no-one will ever have a smaller desktop than that. Your netbook is 1024x600, which explains why the bottom gets cut off in some cases. That reminds me. Maybe there is another solution. I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but you can specify a virtual desktop size to use in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Virtual 1024x768 can be placed in the Display Subsection of the Screen Section. You then set your desired video mode to be something which your display can physically display. You can either create a custom mode of 1024x600 or pick a standard one that will fit, such as 800x600, for example. Now the physical resolution is smaller than the virtual resolution. Your applications see the virtual resolution. You use the mouse pointer to scroll. For example, move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen and keep trying to move further down. As you do, the screen scrolls down. This will allow you to use the full size fonts, but you won't be able to see the whole virtual desktop at once. The choice is up to you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
