When entering Administrator mode for Monitor & Display, the window is not big enough and scrollbars appear

[Ped]

Binary package hint: kde-systemsettings

This happens in Hardy pre-RC "Kubuntu Desktop i386 (20080417.1)"

When I go into Monitor & Display settings the window has just the right size to show everything without scrollbars.
After entering Administrator mode the window gets the red rectangle around settings area, and the whole layout is too big for current window size, so both the scrollbars are introduced.

I expect the original window size to be big enough to work without scrollbars even after entering Administrator mode.

This is still an issue with the KDE4 kcm module in Intrepid.

Well, there isn't an admin mode but by default there are scrollbars in some GUI elements.

Version: (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package
OS: Linux

Under systemsettings, computer adminstration, there is an option called "display". Once in it, there is 3 columns:

the "size, orientation and power"options, the "TV, LCD, LCDS" options, and a final one with a big green square, with only information pourposes. The width of them can't be changed.

For the first one, there is no problem, as is perfect. But the second one, has important options that don't fit the width of the column, so the horizontal bar must be used. It's very uncomfortable.

Nevermind, was only fixed for the audio cd module. There apparently another bug reported for the randr module that I will find.

Actually you _can_ resize it, by dragging the appropriate handle (at least in trunk). But the default size is no good.

Make minimum size more wide in order to hide the horyz scrollbar.
