Try right click on title bar, then select "resize".

Yes, this one.

I guess it should be possible with optimus, but probably will be tricky
at least.

Yes. It was possible to manage the size of this window(WinHVM), before
I switched to XFCE.

Do not need it in such case :)

"GPU passthrogh" requests secondary display to be connected to the
GPU? Or VM which control secondary GPU can redirect image to primary
display and only use computing resources of GPU number two ?  thanks

Currently it isn't possible. And probably will not be in the near
future...

Something like this.

We have some partial work on better driver done, but unfortunately it
turned out to be much harder than we've expected. Mostly because of
really complex Windows GPU driver API and very sparse documentation of
it. It looks like a task requiring at least twice bigger team than we
have :(
