Cool, that helped me! Thanks Nathan...

I did some testing of different settings to see what works best in Ubuntu. I was
surprised to find that there are very few fonts that have anywhere near the line spacing
as you can see in Windows. I sized my window to match your screenshot and the closest I
was able to come up with 29 lines in the Package Explorer window. I got to 29 lines by
changing my Gnome "Application font" to FreeSans Medium 8pt.
System > Preferences > Font
In the process I discovered that the text editors in Eclipse set their font based on
Eclipse preferences, not system settings. I chose to make it "Monospace 9pt"
which seems to be very close to the same size as the Windows font, but I think the Linux
Monospace font is easier to read. From Eclipse go to:
Window > Preferences > General > Apperance > Colors and Fonts > Basic > Text
Font
Hope that helps,
Nathan

Interesting problem. My laptop is 1400x1050 and I haven't noticed any
significant issues with Eclipse on Ubuntu as opposed to Windows [I
previously had Windows and Eclipse installed on the same laptop]. Maybe
you could post a link to a screen shot and we could compare?

Matt:
In your Maven for Newbies page you say:
... At home I'm doing a different project on my Ubuntu laptop with Sun
Java
1.6 and Eclipse 3.2 ...
Me too, at home have Ubuntu and Eclipse 3.2 on laptop, but I'm reluctant
to
use it, because Eclipse is so wasteful of screen space, especially in
vertical (screen res 1280x800 resolution). Perhaps GTK is to blame, but
I
don't know how this works, or if it is configurable.
Have you had any success getting Eclipse to look like as nice as it does
on
Windows?
