Hooray! It's Official.

Although, the command I have to run is anything but elegant, LOL.

Look at this helluva command:-
google-chrome -user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Arch Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.307.11 Safari/532.9"

LOL! Talk about a freakin' shortcut, I'll tell ya!

I did try something with Google's CLI user string option; perhaps it'll work?

Posting from Slackware in VirtualBox. For some odd reason after installing Guest Additions the X screen res is limited to 800x500 (no that's not a typo; that's eight-hundred by five-hundred)...

That is to say, I can't do the auto-resizing display thing that usually comes with VB Guest Additions.

One thing that bothered me when I first tried Fedora in VirtualBox under Windows was that the resolution was limited to 800x600.

I have almost mastered the arts of font rendering; except the font in for the tab in Google Chrome is HUGE.

Can't help you with that. Never tried Slack (or any other linux distro) in VBox.

Okay...something's odd, because I tried restarting X, and I've got a 1280x800 display now (the size I had scaled the window to before, and it didn't work). O_o

EDIT: make that 1280x768. 16:9, not 16:10.

Tabs are still HUGE {LoL @ you people}

I've tried:-
qtcurve
gtk-theme-switch2
GConf
Google Chrome 'Under The Hood'
System Settings Fonts
qtconfig
.desktop files
reinstalling
rebooting

WTF?! Stupid *&^%#** fonts!
