A possible workaround while you pursue the screen resolution possibility is to pass your applications a size argument when you start them (you'll want to do this from the Run meny or from a terminal). What argument you need to use depends on the application, but in general the following are observed (again, application dependant): -geometry 640x480 --geometry 640x480 --height 480 --width 640 -h 480 -w 640 And so on, variations on a theme. Most applications will take a -h or --help argument that may list some options you can use to control the size of the application window when you're starting it. Hope this helps! -- Chris "Build a man a fire and he will be warm for the rest of the night. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life." -- Unknown
