Bug Description
hi,
In some situations the filter dialog editor is not large enough to get to all of the fields which should be editable. When the bottom of the editor's window is dragged down to expand the active area, the new area is added above the "add effect" button but the space is needed in the "effect parameters" area.
To reproduce this problem create a new document, create a square with some colour fill. Apply Filters -> Color -> Invert Hue. Open filter editor to edit the filter. Change the effect parameter type from "Hue Rotate" to "Matrix". Only very little of the top of what should be the matrix is shown. The dialog height needs to be updated. Attached are before and after screen prints.

Reproduced with Inkscape 0.46+devel r22544 on OS X 10.5.8
Setting importance to 'Medium': there is no apparent workaround to resize the filter editor dialog. Closing and re-opening the dialog with the filtered object still selected doesn't update the needed dialog height for the 'Matrix' entry field.
