This would do it for a 1024x768 screen! We can lock the XF86Config file down 
to one screen resolution so Ctrl+Alt+[+/-] doesn't switch resolution, we 
should easily be able to get away with 800x600 though.

I have had some experience (mainly positive) of coding in Anjuta, with 
GTK/Gnome in C (debian box at uni). My main gripe was with the version of GTK 
that debian installs. Found some nice quick tutorials online :-)
