Guake preferences dialog too large for netbook screens

[Hew]

Binary package hint: guake

The Guake preferences dialog is too tall for 1024x600 netbook screens, the close button is chopped off and the window cannot be resized.

Removing the unnecessary "Guake properties" banner and fixing the height of the first two checkbox options should be enough, but additional improvements would be welcome.

Did you know that you can move any window by dragging it with a special key held? That key is by default Alt, and you don't need to start drag on the title bar - any point of the window works. So you can always rich the close button, so as any and every part of the window ;-)

@max - not necessarily true. the abilty to drag a window past the top/bottom of the desktop is configurable. My configuration (Gnome default) does not allow it, nor do I want it to. thanks.

I would like to see this ticket escalated, or perhaps a workaround.

Thank you.

@max - I stand corrected. Tried again, and it worked.

Hey @bsquared, time goes by... Is this issue still relevant?

Feel free to reopen if you need; I'd consider "alt-dragging" a suitable workaround in this case.
