I always forget to close apps so i have them spread over the desktops, but i forget they are open, and im getting rather lazy/messy with icons atm

Never been able to get linux to do native reso on the dell monitor though.

Re: Subject: Screen resolutions

1280x1024 since about 3years ago for me. Except very recently, i've been using a small LCD tv that only handles 1024x768 as my PC is still sat in England atm...

No reason why this shouldn't be achievable, it might mean some manual tweaking of the xorg.conf file however
