Yeah, but I like running at BigAss resolutions. It lets me have several
non-overlapping xterms going at a time. Hopefully it would be possible
to run X at a lower res when actually running the app -- I know that should
leave the laptop screen windowboxed, but hopefully an external screen or
projector would handle it well.
