Well, it is really the business of emaxima.sty how wide the boxes with
the math inside are, so you should complain to the author of the style

You'll find that the developer version of GNU Emacs (see the docs for
AUCTeX 11.81) will handle large images much more gracefully when
scrolling, however.

Screen shots should be done as PNG files usually.  Loading them into
the Gimp and converting to a 16-color palette before saving again can
shrink them considerably further with a tolerable result in
visibility.  And please keep the list copied when answering so that
others can contribute too.
