Maybe you're a Starving College Student, or maybe things cost more
in India (tariffs on imported Chinese goods?), but 17" LCD monitors
are pretty darned cheap. And you should be able to find used CRT
monitors even cheaper.
More than the price, it is my unwillingness to dump my monitor that has
served me well and continuing to do so.

By going with a 17" LCD, you'll get more screen acreage and more
physical desk space. 19" monitors -- in the US, at least -- can
even be had for $180 (and that's not even the el cheapos).

Besides, upgrading hardware to deal with software issues seems to be the
Redmond way of doing things :-)

I totally understand. But if that's your mentality, then GNOME (or
even XFCE) isn't for you. fvwm is more your style.

I use E17 because it's awesome with space, there are some really tiny
themes.

Also, in aus i got my 22" widescreen for work for just over $300 AUD.
