Gnome disk-utility on netbook
Is there a way to show the vertical and horizontal scrollbars? On my netbook, the "mount"/ "unmount" buttons get off the screen defeating the purpose of having this utility

Re: Gnome disk-utility on netbook
Sadly some developer think it's a good idea to have fixed window sizes which look great on their high resolution monitors, not realizing that it makes their apps difficult to use on smaller screens. At least in Linux you can hold the alt key down, click and drag the window up / down / left / right to see the buttons and release so you can click them. Microsoft aren't quite that advanced, you can only click and drag from the title bar, which you sometimes can't see, then when you release, it pops back to the original place, hiding the buttons you just exposed and want to click.
Not ideal but it does work.

It does work although not ideal as you stated.
I wish there's a better point and click way of mounting & unmounting partitions/media on LM Fluxbox the way it's done on Puppy...
UPDATE: It appears that this is fixed in version 2.32 and would be available with the stable release of Ubuntu Natty
