Bug Description

The display preferences window is unusable on a Eee 701SD which supports a resolution of 800 x 480 (16:10) by default. The window takes too much vertical space and maximizing doesn't workaround the problem. I have attached a screenshot for your convenience.

The problem also occurs, but to a lesser extent, on a Eee 900 which supports a resolution of 1024 x 600 (16:9) by default. I have attached the corresponding screenshot.
