Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
The properties window for USB drives and possibly other removable media in Nautilus is too large to fit on a small screen. The window appears to resist resizing because the pie chart that displays disk usage cannot be shrunk. The dialog looks to be approximately 530 pixels tall including the window title bar, while the smaller netbook screens are only 480 pixels tall (minus any screen real estate used by task bars).
A smaller or resizable pie chart would solve the problem. Ideally there would be a general solution for oversized and unresizable dialog boxes.
The problem exists in 7.04 as of 2009-02-18. Latest Nautilus version I've tested is 1:2.25.91-0ubuntu1.
