In all fairness, telling someone that a software problem (go ahead, call
it a bug) is best fixed by upgrading hardware is a cop-out one would
expect of a hardware vendor with propriatary software. It is not an
answer worthy of an open source product.
I have a 9" bw monitor. I get along just fine with icewm. I'm sure
there are other wm's that allow you to control what you need.
Gnome is all about eye-candy. Candy is sugar which is stored as fat.
Eye-candy apps get fat. Fat apps need bigger monitors...
