Thread: 11.10 Misreads Monitor Dimensions

i have ubuntu 11.10 installed on 2 computers: homebuilt desktop 19" samsung monitor , dell vostro 1720 laptop. on both of these computers have tried both unity , xfce, , both same thing windows -- overlap part of screen. on laptop, windows extend past bottom of screen, making lower border , resize corner inaccessible. on desktop, has proportionately deeper screen, can bottom of window, far-rightmost power/shutdown/settings icon beyond screen boundary, making hard general functions.

laptop problem, can resize window, if close , reopen app later, or if activate file save dialog, it's right over-large size again. it's getting bit of pain.

none of happens in kde, i'm guessing glitch must in gtk. there configuration can adjust screen size detection?

what happens when you manually change screen resolution correct settings?
