Benoit and others,

That was exactly what I wanted to suggest, maybe provide a mode/button 
to clear out unwanted graphical element in GUI design mode so
you make better use of the smaller resolution. On my Asus EeePC it is 
1024x600 (i think most of the netbooks use this)

Have to see which elements I use most, but maybe display a list of the 
elements in setup somewhere where you can simple check or uncheck them.
Or, implement an auto-hide mode, when you scroll to the lefthandside of 
the GUI editor the list of modules and forms appear, after selecting, it 
dissapears again, same for righthand properties window, and 
debug/console window... just a thought, have to see if this is workable.

Mine has a 160Gb harddrive, so plenty of room to install a multiboot 
environment (I have Windows XP, and Ubuntu eee with Gambas 2.9 now)
The Windows license came with it, Asus reports that there is also a 
Linux version (cheaper), but couldn't find it in the Netherlands.
Unlike other eeepc's this one has an almost full size keyboard (95% i think)
