Maybe he meant to change the resolution of the X screen, which is
changed in the xfree config file XFconfig (sp?). If you increase the
resolution of the screen, your windows become smaller as well and more
fits on the screen. You should try to read the XFree-manuals on how to
configure the X-Server.
