Using a resolution of 1280x1024 or full-screen works fine. The 1280x1024
resolution ends "maximized".

So I can start the client full-screen or maximized, but not smaller.
When I start it smaller the quality of the fonts is not OK (too big or
too small fonts). With both QT and GTK client.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
