ardour2 main window is 1250 wide minimum without tweaks, an old ardour3 build is 
1280 minimum, again without any tweaks. A small session is usable on a 1280x800 
laptop ... specially if you use your window manager and have various windows 
laid out on three workspaces with a keyboard shortcuts to switch. But more space 
is much better.
