OK, Tried it - had to set it to 1024 x 768 otherwise the window just opens on top of the desktop with the desktop still visible in the backround. If I stop fullscreen mode the screen resolution is left at 600 x 480? and I have to manually change it back to 1024 x 768 ( I have 17" screen). Using this setting in my config file is not the same as the previous fullscreen mode - I mean that before there was never a desktop visible behind the xawtv display .... Any comments? BTW It's fine like it is - I just thought it'b be great if I could tweak it more and make it "perfect".
