Really? With 17/19 inch monitors only recently becoming affordable I
would have
thought that the majority of PC users (hence Linux users) were
struggling
along with 14/15 monitors.

Even worse, is the fact that I'm getting older each and every year and
my eyes are going along for the ride. I'm thinking of getting a 17"
soon,
but maybe I should blow the milk money on a 21" and justify it on the
savings
I'd incur by putting off glasses for another year. Wonder if she'll buy
that ;).

Oh, I thought that was just me. I did find that if I clicked to the
right side of
the button it wasn't as bad. I think it is matter of having a delay set
for
the display of the help...is there an option for this or is it hardwired
into gtk. Also, when the menu is displayed the ballon should go away.
Ain't
beta software fun.

Yes. What would be nice is the ability to turn virtual on/off on the
fly. But
I suspect that won't happen. Too many problems with all the stuff on the
screen
at the time of the re-size. Mind you, I can start a 2nd x session in
another
resolution or virtual size. Wonder if Bill's seen that and figured a way
to advertise that as something which might be in Win 2010.
