It's great that there's a patch upstream. However, the engineers have deemed this is too risky to take in 9.04. Look for this early in 9.10. Please note that the work around still works. Users must turn off compiz, by going to: System-Preferences-Appearance then choosing Visual Effects tab, and setting it to None. This will turn off compiz and allow the window to be dragged above the frame. After this, they can re-enable compiz on the same tab if desired. -- Quite hard to change screen resolution back to normal when resolution is set very low https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224229 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

There is also a gconf key you can set that allows you to move apps above the top of the screen under compiz. I'm not suggesting that it be the documented way to do this, but setting it by default could be an option. Apparently compiz upstream don't think you should be allowed to do it, because you can get in to a bad situation when you can't access a window anymore, which is why it is not the default, but it would be possible to override that. Also, I'm not sure I entirely agree with the argument as I phrased it as you still have alt-tab etc., but I may have incorrectly characterised their position. I don't have references to hand I'm afraid, but I found them originally with a minimal amount of googling.

[Bug 224229] Re: Quite hard to change screen resolution back to normal when resolution is set very low
Well I came accross the same issue in 8.04. What I wanted to do was take some screen shots of an application at a low screen resolution so that when I added these to an open office presentation they would be visible and readable from the back of the room. Naturally, I assumed everything would just work and dived into a graphics mode with 400x300 pixels. Once I had done that I was truly stuffed. If I had known the xrand command, that would have fixed it but even using google was hard here. The main problem is that the menu system no longer works. Holding the mouse cursor above the Applications, Places and System Menues no longer brings up these items, but the legand for Icons such as opera or thunderbird, invisible on the screen that seem visually to be under them. Clicking these items also has the wrong effect. Ie none of the menues even work. I tried eliminating applets from the bar but although this looked promising it didnt help me. In the end I had to restart the xserver, which really I did not want to do. I think that this is more fundamental than just changing the layout a bit. whats needed here is a) The menus still need to work, and they do not at the moment. b) If you are able to get an app running such as the one to change the resolution, the desktop should run it, however ugly , in a way such that it can be used. There are many apps and some will be badly designed. The desktop needs to be more forgiving of this poor design in some way. Perhaps reflecting the bit that is off the bottom of the screen in a kind of transparent way over the bit that is already on the screen. Or allowing the small screen to pan in some kind of drunken way. Makes me seasick just to think of it.
