Thanks. This is a queer window, when I try to grab and move it, its
parent window gets moved instead. But thanks!

 Increasing your (virtual) resolution should help.
 hold the Mod1 (left Alt) key and click the window with the mouse.
 You should then be able to drag the window to where you can grab a
 corner and resize it.
 I learned this when I had a cloudbook.

window does not fit on screen

2012-02-19 Thread Panayiotis Karabassis

Hello!

I am facing a very strange problem. On my netbook, when I open up 
Eclipse's install new software wizard, the window does not fit on screen 
and I cannot select the software to install. I am using Gnome 3 from Wheezy.


Is there any workaround for this problem?

Re: window does not fit on screen

Thanks. I can not increase the physical resolution but do you know how
to increase the virtual resolution?

I would like to do so on a per-user basis. Setting the line Virtual x
y in Xorg.conf has the desired effect but it also increases the size
for the login manager, which is undesired. Also the virtual resolution
change does not integrate very well with Gnome Shell. Googling suggests
I should use the xrandr extension but I do not understand it very well.

Thanks.

Re: window does not fit on screen

2012-02-19 Thread Panayiotis Karabassis

The command that works for me is:

xrandr --fb 1024x768 --output LVDS1 --panning 1024x768  gnome-shell 
--replace


However there is a known bug [1] in xserver so I had to apply a patch 
and recompile.


I would like to run this automatically at login, I tried .xinitrc and 
.bashrc but neither works.


Anyway, my thanks.
