Bug Description
Release: Jaunty
CD/DVD Variant: UNR nightly USB image
Image build: 20090223, 20090312
Symptoms:
When plugging using a mobile broadband modem for the first time, Ubuntu starts a wizard that asks for country and mobile broadband provider, in order to configure the device. The wizard screens don't fit on a 480px vertical resolution screen, as on EeePC 701 and other 7", 800x480 netbooks. As a result, the wizard buttons are not displayed fully and sometimes none at all making them difficult or impossible to click. See attached screenshots for details.
Steps to reproduce:
- Plug in a mobile broadband modem in a USB port
- Wizard appears, displaying intro text; wizard buttons are barely visible at the bottom
- Click button on the right to go to next screen; next screen is too tall and no button can be clicked

I believe this bug is due to the fact that the DPI on your system did not get set correctly. Your screenshots validate this (the fonts are quite big). This was a know bug that should be fixed now. You test by manually setting the following gconf key and restarting: gnome/font_ rendering/ dpi 96.0
/desktop/
New unr builds should have this gconf setting set by default.
