Nope. Well, yes, but that's not why I want pixels.
I like having lots of data on my screen. I want to be able to have multiple windows side-by-side, with reasonable amounts of data in them. I routinely have a browser window (currently about 750 pixels wide and 1000 pixels tall) on one side, with an ssh window (a bit smaller) on the other side, and a couple of IM windows strewn around. Or two browser windows side-by-side, or two ssh windows, or... well, you get the picture.
I've never understood why people run windowing OSes and then make all the windows full-screen. It seems ludicrous to me.
And that doesn't seem like a special need to me. It's just normal computer use.
OK, there *is* one special need, and that's online poker. I need to be able to tile four poker screens around the monitor. But I'd insist on that resolution even if I wasn't playing poker.
My home and work desktop machines have side-by-side 20" 1600x1200 monitors. That's about perfect for me.
