I've never tried A4, so I don't know what it should look like as  
regards to those screenshots, and mine always are set to US Letter  
anyways. We do not have an /etc/papersize, but perhaps this Ubuntu  
issue will help: http://www.computechgroup.com/?p=327 or perhaps this  
Debian info (also for /etc/papersize):  
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.en.html

Or are you complaining that the programs are showing you zoomed out,  
instead of fitting to the width of the screen? That's a user setting  
for most programs, or the programs changed their default in recent  
versions.
