Bug Description
Binary package hint: kde-systemsettings
Several of the configuration dialogues that can be accessed via "System Settings" are far too big and do not scale when the window is resized. One of the worst offenders is "Regional & Language" - this screen is so big, that it does not even display fullscreen on 1280x1024 without having to use scrollbars, which makes using this configuration screen very cumbersome. Most of the other configuration screens require fullscreen on 1280x1024 just to avoid scrollbars. None of the screens seem to scale properly when resizing the window.
Strangely enough, as far as I can see, the *same* screens scale perfectly when used with the original "kcontrol" (KDE Control Centre) command. "Regional & Accessibility" for example works just fine in a *much* smaller window - no scrollbars necessary. Unfortunately, kcontrol does not seem to be part of the default menu.
