Hi Ross,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Netbooks says many netbooks has
only 800x480. But I think this number is 'negotiable', maybe for 2011 we choose
to support only 1024x600+?

Back to main topic, do you consider that 'checking apps dimension
usability' above
suitable for GNOME's Google Code-in task? I will try to write more complete
task definition if my basic idea is considered worthy enough.
