If you have multiple screen sizes defined, the X desktop will be set at the
largest of them, with the smaller ones acting as a "window" onto the
desktop. If there's a way around this, I don't know of it -- this is a
"feature" of X11. So, the only way I know to get an 800 * 600 desktop is to
set that as the max screen resolution.
Frankly, I hope someone else comes up with a way for you to do it. I'd like
to do much the same thing myself <sigh>.
