Yeah - it is problem with those two, but I am not aware of other examples of such 'bad design'. Morevover - they don't function properly under WM's such as ION. But I see it rather as exception rather than rule.
I am just looking at this Xfms and must admit I like it - certailny something worth considering...
And my suggestion .... shouldn't have taken it seriously 
but who knows - maybe someone will change monitor in order to see larger buttons in BMP.

As to screen resolutions, and so although I use a 1600x1200 resolution with a (good) 19'' monitor, I have usually no problems whatsoever with programs following standard GNOME, KDE or XFce interface guidelines. I only tend to have problems with these many (usually skinnable) mediaplayers like BMP and XMMS...
I see absolutely no reason to downgrade my monitor resolution, not to mention buying a bigger monitor(!), just in order to better use some freaking media player that prefers to have smaller than normal buttons... I rather choose another mediaplayer that just works like I want it to work. That's why I said that I like Xfmedia, and think that it has at least potential, because of its relatively clear, no-nonsense interface.
