window sizing?

[Jeffrey Ross]

I've recently noticed that when programs open they are opening to a size 
larger than the screen resolution.  I've noticed this primarily with 
Firefox and with Evince (PDF reader).   Basically the bottom and the 
right edge of the window is off the screen.  I can manually resize it, 
but how do I adjust it so it doesn't extend off the screen?  My 
resolution is 1280x1024.

TIA
Jeff

for me at least ctrl-minus-minus reduces the font, but not the window size.

actually, i was thinking: is it possible that your display is set at something
less than the optimal or before? Can you please check system-config-display.

Best,
Trotter

One thing to check is your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to make sure you do
not have a desktop setting in there that is greater then your screen
resolution. You can also sometime run into problems if you have
settings for resolutions greater then you are running, and do not
have a desktop size set. The desktop size is set using:

We've tried each spinning space mote And reckoned its true worth: Take
us back again to the homes of men On the cool, green hills of Earth. The
arching sky is calling Spacemen back to their trade. All hands! Standby!
Free falling! And the lights below us fade. Out ride the sons of Terra,
Far drives the thundering jet, Up leaps the race of Earthmen, Out, far,
and onward yet-- We pray for one last landing On the globe that gave us
birth; Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies And the cool, green
hills of Earth. -- Robert A. Heinlein, 1941
