Bug Description

(Parts copied from Lanoxx's message on gnome-flashback-list)

= Impact =
The "Show list of known applications" box collapses to a very small list where only one or two entries are visible.

= Development Fix =
This patch were applied in 3.8.1 (available in Utopic):

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-panel/commit/?id=6d7833a6d41c4566eeb4f0f7ef2cbb94d42bfac7

With this patch it should resize together with the dialog window and in the default view there are at least 5 items visible. Besides that Alberts and me took very good care not to change the design or behaviour, I am quite sure it is suitable for an SRU.

= Stable Fix =
The patch is cherry-picked in a proposed update for Trusty.

= Test Case =
* Press Alt+F2 to open the Run Command dialog.
* Select "Show list of known applications".
* There should be at least 5 applications visible.

= Regression Potential =
Minimal regression potential, just UI change.
