A possible workaround while you pursue the screen resolution
possibility is to pass your applications a size argument when you
start them (you'll want to do this from the Run meny or from a
terminal).  What argument you need to use depends on the application,
but in general the following are observed (again, application
dependant):

-geometry 640x480
--geometry 640x480
--height 480 --width 640
-h 480 -w 640

And so on, variations on a theme.  Most applications will take a -h or
--help argument that may list some options you can use to control the
size of the application window when you're starting it.

Hope this helps!
