Hi Matthew! Yes, I'm afraid this is the approach of professional applications. I had the same problem on various Ubuntus on recycled machines and tiny screens. Here are my workarounds: 1. To move the window upward, hold the _Alt_ key and drag the central part of the window. Dragging the top bar won't work. 2. If you can't drag the window this way, open a terminal and type `gconf-editor` to open the _Configuration Editor_ window. Navigate to `apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options` and uncheck `constrain_y`. You should now be able to Alt-drag and move the _Preferences_ window. 3. If you still have no luck instead of clicking OK you can press the ENTER key. 4. To enable the possibility of setting a duration for the imported images you need to edit the `Cinelerra_rc` text file contained in the `.bcast` folder. It's easy and painless. Open a terminal and type: gedit .bcast/Cinelerra_rc Search for the text: SI_USEDURATION 0 SI_DURATION 5.000000e+00 In the first line replace 0 (= function disabled) with 1 (= function enabled). The number 5 in the second line is the duration (in seconds) the images will have when loaded on the timeline. Type a different value if needed. Hope it helps. Ciao!
