do 15 pixels really matter ? this hurts so much in usability IMHO. I often 
use the previews to find a virtual desktop that is "empty" when I want to 
start a new task. and I use it to find some of my open xterms again..

BTW, I'm not sure about the default situation, but I guess it helps for 
small screen resolutions to make the "only show windows on the current 
virtual desktops in the taskbar" option default, if it isn't already. 

Note the worst but possible solution is still to switch between lores 
defaults and hires defaults depending on the currently active screen 
resolution.
