Linux occupies the whole monitor screen and I am not allowed to resize 
(reduce its window frame) its window so that WinXP will also appear on the 
monitor screen simultaneously.  If Linux window can't be resized then I 
have to shrink it to icon in order to view WinXP window.  Is it possible to 
adjust Linux window frame manually with the mouse?  If NOT, is there any 
solution to get a smaller Linux window.

Thanks

Stephen
