I'm afraid that didn't change the fact the window is huge compared to

explained, while I can live with, the newcomers I'm converting to
GNU/Linux using Lubuntu will not be happy at all.
Thank you!
P.S.
There should be nothing to be pressed by default. Logically, the
window should be auto adjusted to the size of the display. I have no
idea why Lubuntu can't do that?!
Ali:
Be aware that the application has control over the preferred, maximum,
and minimum dimensions of the application window. In resizing a window,
it will not allow you to re-size it smaller than the minimum screen
dimensions.
Often, developers (having fast machines, and large-screen monitors),
forget to think of users with less-capable machines, and small monitors.
If the application (perhaps from lack of thinking by the developer) sets
a minimum size which won't fit on a netbook screen, the application just
can't be used on such a netbook unless they have another monitor they
can connect it to, that meets the window dimension requirements.
I am not aware of an operating system being able to scale an application
window to fit a screen (though my not being aware of it doesn't mean it
doesn't exist).
An example of this I am familiar with, it that my main application
window will not fit on the netbook's screen. The minimum system
requirements I have, clearly state the screen dimensions required, and
the netbook's screen doesn't quite conform in the vertical dimension.
Yet, I can use that application on the netbook, by using the Alt-drag
trick, positioning the window so that all of the important controls are
visible. On Windows (on that same machine), I can't use my application
at all, because I can only reposition the window by clicking and
dragging on the title-bar.
