The virtual space size can be tweaked in the X11 configuration, yes (although it's a bit inconvenient). I already tried reducing the font size, but it was not enough. What i've finally done is configuring things in another machine and copying plt-prefs.ss to the netbook, manually editing it as needed. > The only thing to do at the drscheme level is to change the dialog so > that it has fewer controls (or re-distribute them to take less > vertical space). Given the raising popularity of netbooks with small vertical space available, perhaps it'd be a good thing (in a future release) to redistribute controls automatically if the situation is detected... just a thought (unfortunately, i know nearly nothing about Framework, so i'm talking out of my hat). Thanks for the quick response anyway!
