As of Fedora Core 1 (has this changed in FC2?), Metacity would not allow you to drag a window upwards past its titlebar. On an 800x600 screen, this makes it impossible to get to the buttons on some dialogs. The one that always bugged the h*ll out of me in this respect was the GAIM preferences window. IMO, this is probably a bad thing for Metacity to do. Since I can't change the screen resolution on this Thinkpad X20 (800x600 is the maximum resolution), I changed window managers and desktop environments. XFCE's window manager will actually allow you to move big dialogs so that you can see the buttons. Having said that, the original poster has a 17" monitor and probably has a video card that can provide a higher resolution. Maybe Xorg and his video card aren't getting along... -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry teacher, Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
