I solved it by putting 24" TFTs on all desks I ever work on :)

Hm, one of the new features in Sun Ray Software 4 10/08 was:

http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/sun_ray_software_4_10

In-Session Desktop Resizing - Move between different sized displays
and adjust your desktop size without logging out

I'm still running an older release of SRSS here, but I expected exactly
what you describe to be fixed by that.

That sounds promising, X'mas comming so a upgrade could be the right
thing to do.

Thanks for pointing that out, SRSS seams to getting really good if Sun
now would get the soft SunRay client ported to MAC and why not to
Solaris x86 aswell :)

chime. was a long time ago.

I seem to remember a Sun Ray specific mechanism to resize the display.

With the current version, you can resize but I think there's one limitation: when
you connect, it will use that size as the maximum size. However, you can
configure a standard maximum size for all desktops; using a 24" after logging in on
a 20" will then work.
