Oddly enough I could also use "a way I can scroll around my own desktop"
as mine has auto-exploded to some very desirable size populated with
giant icons. The panel has stayed 1280 wide but removable media icons
aren't always in the visible part when I want to unmount them.
Of course my real question is how to resize it / where is Ubuntu taking
the size from?
