Jerome,
Are you also trying to make the panels smaller in gnome? You can
right-click the panels and change the pixel size and AutoHide them.

An easy way to do this on the fly is using the command:
xrandr
This will display your available resolutions for the screen. Then you can
switch the size with:
xrandr size n
where n is the number (0--some number) that serves as the identifier for an
specific screen resolution (which you should have gotten with xrandr the
first time).
Although, the best way is to reconfigure (as you were indicated previously)
with dpkg-reconfigure and only selecting the best suitable resolution from
the menu.
