Xorg resolution/display size problem

Hello,
I am running Debian 6.0 on a Sun Ultra 5 and the openbox window manager. The window is way larger than the screen and minimized icons go off the screen and I can't get them back. The mode is set to 1280x1024 in the Screen section of xorg.conf and Virtual is also set to 1280x1024 which is the max. for the LCD. xrandr shows both are in effect. I don't see any other option in xorg.conf that might change the window size. Respondents on the openbox mailing list say this is an xorg problem but I don't know what else to do.
Best regards,
Fred

OBXPROP(1)						      General Commands Manual							OBXPROP(1)

NAME
openbox -- A minimalistic, highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support. SYNOPSIS
openbox [--help] [--display DISPLAY] [--id ID] [--root] [--] [PROPERTY ...] DESCRIPTION
obxprop is a tool for displaying the properties on an x window. This tool has a similar functionality to xprop, but obxprop allows you to see UTF-8 strings as text. You may use the --id option to specify a window identifier, otherwise obxprop will allow you to select a window by clicking on it. Primarily, this tool exists for Openbox users to see the value of the _OB_APP_NAME, _OB_APP_CLASS, _OB_APP_ROLE, and _OB_APP_TYPE proper- ties, which Openbox uses for matching windows against user-defined application rules. OPTIONS
These are the possible options that openbox accepts: --help Show a summary of the options available. --display DISPLAY Specify the X display to use. --id ID Specify the window identifier for the window whose properties will be displayed. Similar to xprop, you may pass one or more property names to have openbox limit its output to only the properties requested. SEE ALSO
openbox (1), openbox-session(1), openbox-gnome-session(1), openbox-kde-session(1). Please report bugs to: http://bugzilla.icculus.org/ OBXPROP(1)
