I have no idea why start screens always use so little of the available display.
Because an app pinching the entire damn screen isn't always welcome?!?!

I *hate* apps running full-screen - what's the joke? "a gui is a means of happening several xterms visible at once" ...

But seriously, "the available display" is NOT the entire screen. It should be whatever the user chooses to give you, and that's not always as much as you'd like. Yes I know most lusers seem to like full-screen apps. That's no reason to upset the power users by forcing them to work your way. That's why I hate Word ...

Cheers,
