How can I enlarge the display size under Ubuntu?

Occasionally, I muck around with X and I end up with a display size that
is larger than my screen.  That is, I may have a 12" screen, but X11
thinks it's a 24" screen and displays only about 1/4th of the desktop on
the screen.  To see other parts of the screen, I would move my mouse to
the edges and then the display would scroll in that direction.
Normally, I'd find that phenomenon annoying.  But now, I'm actually
looking for that feature.

I looked in System > Preferences > Screen Resolution, but that's not it.
 The resolution is fine.  What I'd like to change is the display size>
Specifically, I'd like to make the screen size larger so that everything
looks larger (fonts, buttons, window icons, scroll bars, etc.)

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Regards,
- Robert
