There's a few things you can try to make windows smaller:  Pick a
smaller font.  Find an option for whether GUI buttons will be drawn as
text/icon/text+icon and make them text-only.

Or you can try making the desktop bigger than the screen resolution,
with a keyhole view of the whole thing, so that you can scroll past the
edge and move the keyhole around.  It is rather like trying to read a
magazine through a keyhole, and not something you'd want to do all the
time, but useful to be able to switch modes to deal with one or two
programs which want big GUIs.

I've come across one or two things that were two tall for my 800 pixel
high laptop screen.  That's rather poor design on their behalf, it's a
common enough screen height.
