So your screen is as wide as your wrist to your elbow, but only as high as from your wrist to your knuckles? I'm curious because I've seen special purpose devices like that, but never a laptop!

Anywho, the short answer is to build an auto-resize feature into your application (probably into each window), but I imagine that it will be hard pressed to cope with those dimensions!
