Awsome thanks for the more specific udev rule. That's ideal since it
would apply to any FreeAgentDesktop, which obviously they all have the
same problem.
Also, by now I think I can say the sdparm fix works.

The same too-small scrollbars are in Mozilla Thunderbird too.

The xrandr program also works fine.

Confirmed, downgrading to 0.9.10-0ubuntu2 from Precise works ok.

Well lubuntu raring uses lightdm not lxdm, so assuming saucy does too,
at least that doesn't conflict with the idea that maybe lxdm was doing
