Dash default shortcuts too big for 800x480 monitors

[Guillermo Espertino (Gez)]

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 beta in my Asus EEE 701.
It has a small screen (7", 800x480px). Everything looks fine, except the dash default shortcuts, that are way too big for the screen. The rest of the lenses are fine, the information fits in the screen and a scrollbar is rendered when more space is needed, but it's not the case with dash shortcuts.
I'm attaching a screenshot showing the problem.

the other side-effect of this is that the launcher overlaps the dash (using unity2d), giving a rather ugly result: see screenshot

it has been discussed in the past the minimal resolutions that we support for unity are 1024*600 anything below is not supported.

This diskussion affacts small displays on smartphones, too.
With Ubuntu on android Unity has to fit on small displays with lower resolutions.
(Is this a Problem to calculate the iconsize from the displayresolution? This is technical a very old thing!)

My opinion about this is, that the Unity-Dash should look in all cases the same size , regardless of the displayresolution!
Please think about this.
