</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>This sounds like the Linux client, which won't auto

<br><tt><font size=2>unless</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>you feed it -resize=1 as a parameter,</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>and even then</font></tt>

<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>That's normal, (if not desired . . )</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>else</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>you are talking about rescaling a 1920x1200 to 1024x600</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>like</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>vnc does ( and NX shadowing, try using the windows
nxclient</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>
to shadow a large Linux screen session</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>
then drag the Linux desktop down to a </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>
very small area )</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>If you re-scale the desktop,</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>so</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>a large desktop is squashed to fit a small monitor</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> ( like vnc does
)</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>you will end up with a a screen you can't read in
extreme</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>circumstances,</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> ( so there would
need to be a control to</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> allow you
to choose windowing/scaling )</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>What my KDE does is to</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>map pixel to pixel without scaling</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>trim my "wallpaper" to fit, and centre it</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>resize appliactions to fit so I can see the scroll
bars</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>resize "kickoff" and the "panel"
bar to fit.</font></tt>

</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>Any icons you have locked in place beyond 1024x600</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>will</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>not be visible.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>If you have your icons set to sort themselves,</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>they should shuffle around to try and fit the smaller
size.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>I can't work out why your menu is off the left side
tho,</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>as</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>the windowing should start from top left,</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>but then</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>I don't know much about gnome.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Maybe your "menu" just gives up if the screen

I think your best bet is to have a desktop which works at 1024x600</font></tt>
