It often just feels like X app authors assume all users run at fairly
high resolutions, and Windows app authors don't. In terms of
cramped-ness, Windows at 800 by 600 feels about the same as X at 1024 by
768. This is of course completely subjective, and certainly dependant on
the kinds of apps you want to run (the Gnome desktop environment, in my
case), but yeah. There you go :).
