Well, my main aim with this thread was to gather opinions about this
change by people that use small hi-def screens.
Do you agree with it? Is it just an idiosyncrasy of mine? Of course
all the people that wrote on the bug report (but the X devs) were
against this change, but this is all too obviously self reporting
bias.
How do you deal with it? Did you change the font size in the various
programs, or set the resolution back to the real value?
What should we suggest in the wiki?

Cheers,
