A single window is too big and everything else is OK? I can understand the screen being the wrong size, which would affect everything including the panel etc., but not one window. The display config doesn't know anything about windows. If you do have the wrong screen resolution, then system-config-display is where you fix it, but this affects everything. > > This may be fixable through your desktop configuration controls, but you > > don't say which dekstop you're using. > > I run gnome and metacity; is that what you're asking? Gnome is a desktop environment, as is KDE. Metacity is a window manager often used with Gnome (the equivalent in KDE is kwm). Since I rarely use them that's as far as I can go, but if your problem is with one window then the fix will be there if at all and not in the display config. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
