As soon as I saw "heh" I realized we were on the same page. =) It is kind
of funny in a sad way, but it really is a pretty key scenario and a really
important one to get right. For an ever more eye-popping accessibility
concern, look into High Contrast.
Pretty much all dialogs should be functional at 800x600, even if it looks
painful to use. Now imagine ~debugging~ those near-full-screen dialogs in
800x600. =\
Beyond that -- since most novice users don't adjust their resolution --
people may accidentally be in low-resolution modes. That would make my eyes
bleed, but -- =\

Speaking for myself only.
