Ubuntu on a 1024x600 resolution.

[kyle.smith]

It's a bit of a hack, but Compiz has a "Put Window" and "Grab Window"
plugin that allow you to move a window without only grabbing the
titlebar.  It would atleast allow you to press "Apply" :)

I have heard of the netbook remix.  It does look interesting, except I
do not like the new interface that it implements.  I would much rather
stay with Gnome.  Its not too big of an issue, I mean I have been
dealing with it for over 3 months now without much issues.  So I threw
it on my to-do list to try and figure out.  Just getting around to it.


If it can't be resolved that's fine too.  I will just deal with it cause
again, I dont want to give up Gnome.  I was just trying to find out if
anyone knew of any tricks to get things in Gnome to scale themselves
down in size based on the resolution.  Thanks for the link though.
