Thanks, guys. Turned out that I had set the screen size too large in
SaX2 - not the virtual resolution, but the bit where at the end you can
configure what you see with "change size" and "change position" arrows.
I made it smaller and then adjusted the actual picture on screen with
the monitor controls.

Thanks again! Now my apps look proper and I'm happy (except for a few
other kinks, but I'll post them separately).

Cheers,

Malke
