I'm sorry for registering and coming here just to pester everyone but for the life of me I can't get FCEUX to look like old TVs used to in my widescreen (am I the only one that hates them?) So yeah, would someone please tell me what scaling factors, special scaler and/or OGL settings I should use to have my friends, the 2 black bars, on both sides of the screen? I'm used to emulators that just have a check for "force 4:3 aspect ratio".

Config -> Video: Full Screen Settings -> Special Filter: NTSC 2x may also help. And try different options of DirectDraw.

Then either run the windows build on vmware or nothing.

really? there's no way in Lubuntu Linux nor plans to update/improve the video settings for it? that's quite the letdown...

Have you tried to fiddle with command line arguments yet? Following settings might help you out. I know that the graphical interface is missing some settings but I'm fine with that because I like cli more!
fceux --help
....
--xres x Set horizontal resolution for full screen mode.
--yres x Set vertical resolution for full screen mode.
--autoscale {0|1} Enable autoscaling in fullscreen. 
--keepratio {0|1} Keep native NES aspect ratio when autoscaling. 
--(x/y)scale x Multiply width/height by x. (Real numbers >0 with OpenGL, otherwise integers >0).
--(x/y)stretch {0|1} Stretch to fill surface on x/y axis (OpenGL only).
