My apps are displaying windows too big for the screen!



Hello all,

I'm running on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 400CDT with slink installed.  I'm
having a problem with my X apps; at first I thought it was KDE, now that I
have also used TWM, FVWM, FVWM2 and FVWM95, I'm not so sure.

The problem is that whenever I start an app, the window that is created is
often too big for the screen - so I lose the right and bottom portion of the
window.  If I do a maximize (and often restore then maximize) the window
displays fine, but this is annoying to have to do to every window every time -
and often multiple times per window.

The problem shouldn't be because of my virtual screen size - my resolution and
virtual screen size are both 640x480; evidently X was really written for
bigger and more advanced monitors. 

Can anyone point me to documentation or tips on how to fix these windows so I
don't have to resize them all the time?

Would GREATLY appreciate it.

-Jay
