I agree about not designing on the assumption of 1280x1024, but I have
always run my 17" monitors in 1024x768. I wouldn't call it dysfunctional.
Having said that, I think that designing for a minimum 800x600 would be OK
since anyone using vuescan would surely be using Photoshop or PSP, both of
which are unworkable in 640x480. I know Ed has stated in the past that most
of the
reason for Vuescan's somewhat crowded interface is to fit it into a 640x480
screen.

PS It occurs to me that Nikonscan fits into a lot less than 640x480, but
then it has its own pecularities of interface design which are frankly
unconventional and in many cases counter-intuitive.
