X and Fluxbox :: Window size

All of the program windows always pop-up larger than the size of my monitor. Is there a way to fix this? All of the shortcuts show up on the desktop as they should. Also, I doubt this should go here but no reason to make a new topic so I thought I would ask here. After I install a theme how do you use it?

Thanks alot,
Soldat

I think this happens when the screen size is set to a resolution larger than that your machine can physically manage - i.e. xsetup is set to 1024x768 but your machine can only manage 800x600.

Maybe you could try changing xsetup to see what happens?

Well it's already set to the smallest setting (800x600 or something like that). I suppose something else to add to this. I changed the desktop then i rebooted and the desktop has changed back. Why wont that stay the same?

Maybe it is a combination of the resolution and the colour depth - i.e. maybe your machine can support 800x600x8 but not 800x600x24 and so it drops to 640x480x24?

I am unsure as of that. But I am pretty sure that it would be fine, providing the fact that has anything to do with how old the computer is there shouldn't be toooo much of a problem, heh.

Also, if anyone can anwser any of my other misc. questions while they are glancing through this thread it would be appreciated.

EDIT: Solved the problem, it was the screen resolution, i just used the DSL Panel and chose the last option under Xvesa set up or something like that. Now how do I save my settings like this because I know they wont save..

Questions still:
How do I save my desktop etc. and now my settings?
And how do I save my desktop aswell as use themes?

EDIT AGAIN: I know I am horrible. Is there a screen saver even available?

EDIT ONCE AGAIN: Don't shoot me please I am still new to all this and I don't want to make 10000 posts when it really isn't nessasary. I have installed DSL to my hard drive if it makes any difference in how I save things.
