Has anyone encountered problems with KDE dialog windows at lower monitor resolutions? Here's the scenario:
- my laptop _only_ supports 800x600 maximum resolution (it's an older ToughBook CF-25) - I have Ubuntu (Hoary with KDE) installed - when I try to change my network configuration, I try to use System->Settings->Internet & Network->Network Settings - I get the Configure dialog window but the buttons are cut off because of my resolution and the dialog window has no scroll bars so I cannot get to the buttons like Administrator Mode and OK and Cancel I experimented with the shortcuts and found alt+m would get me to what appeared to be Administrator mode, I get prompted for a password, I enter it but then it appears to go back to the default user mode in which I cannot change any settings. I have tried this multiple times to no avail in case I mistyped my password. I am sure there are ways to change my network settings through command-line, this is not the issue. I am more concerned with how I am supposed to cope with dialogue windows not showing me everything. The scale to a point but the minimum size appears out of my range. I even went into the Window settings and chose advanced to see if I could force it to a particular size but the buttons remained hidden and there were no scroll bars that might enable me to get to them. I am guessing that there is a reason for this but it is escaping me. I am also cognizant of the fact that my settings are not in the target demographic. Most people are able to do 1024x768 at least. Does anyone know of a way I can fix this? Is there a way to fix this or do I have to work around it?
