I'm not in KDE at the moment, so this might be GTK-specific, but you could 
also try holding down <shift>, then click-n-hold the side frame of the 
window to move it up and down.

Better solution: get a graphics card that can handle 1024 x 768 : it seems 
to be the minimum that X designers plan for. If you juggle the screen 
fonts a little, 1024 x 768 can be quite useable even on a 14" monitor - 
that's what I have - and something like an ATI Mach 64 card should be 
very cheap.

Are you SURE your current card won't support a better resolution? It took 
me most of a day to persuade Mandrake 7.2 to get up to 1024 x 768 and i 
still don't know why it suddenly worked, but I did it eventually (mdk 8.x 
is much better at this, thanks guys). What does the card's manual say?
