I would like to get my taskbar resized, (reduce the width to single-line display) so I'll be able to see more workspace when I'm running my laptop. I found some discussion on customising, but not about how to resize it. Any help is much appreciated. (I'm on Trisquel 6)

You have to alt+right click the panel to get to some configurations if you're on Metacity.

If you're on Compiz, it's alt+something+right click.

It doesn't work on Trisquel 6 with GeForce FX5500 and nomodeset activated.

I should say that I tried with i686 live on a 64 bit machine.
(Athlon 64 3400+ 2GB Ram and above mentioned graphic card with 512MB dedicated Ram)
In this case the only way is to edit manually as root the config file in /usr/share/gnome....

By the way, on the same machine Abrowser causes a freeze and the only way to solve is force reboot with hardware's (case) switch.

Alt+Right Click works if you boot livecd with nomodeset deactivated but you have an awful resolution with a 16:9 widescreen display. :-/

With 3D acceleration (Compiz):
Super(Windows/Command key) + Alt + Right click
