Really? With 17/19 inch monitors only recently becoming affordable I<br>
|
||
would have<br>
|
||
thought that the majority of PC users (hence Linux users) were<br>
|
||
struggling<br>
|

along with 14/15 monitors.<br>

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

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

|

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