I think we should think a little about keeping LinuxCNC usable on very
small screens, also, as there are some people who have need to use
portable systems with smaller screens.  Touchy does a good job of that,
and I think can be functional down to 640 x 480 or something.  Probably
Axis can be set up to function on a smaller screen by adjusting font
settings, too.
