Shell is not resizable, too big for small screens

[Dylan McCall]

With Ubuntu's patches to Gnome Control Center, lots of new sections are being added. This has reached the point where the main window is quite tall. It is now 675x643 pixels, which is too big for some smaller netbooks (like the 1024x600 Dell Mini 10). To resolve this, the shell should be resizable and offer a vertical scrollbar.

Sorry, I didn't test this very thoroughly. Turns out this is behaving correctly on a netbook with a small screen resolution. The shell grows a scrollbar, as necessary, and fits to the available vertical space. Not sure why I didn't think it did before… perhaps an earlier version or something :/

Bye!

Dylan, that's true that the window grows a scrollbar when the screen is too narrow, but the problem remains that you can't resize the window yourself. So, if you prefer to have a wide control center instead of a tall one with scrollbars, you just can't. This is a relatively easy feature to add, and almost all applications are resizable, so I don't see why this one couldn't. To be perfect, it should event save its size when exiting, like most apps.
