Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

In contrary to Bug #700749 it resizes now when clicked on a device in left menu.
But it resizes so big that it overlaps Unity workspaces and refuses to be resized manually, even the arrows are displayed, which make a user believe it can be resized (screenshot #1).
A workaround would be to add a window rule via CCSM, on Natty it got respected, but not on Oneiric.
## Side note. After enabling window rules plugin, Unity gets disrupted (screenshot #2 example shows the situation when the launcher is dogded).

Thanks for your report.

Here the main window size is 669px height, which, with the 24px of the top panel should fit on most screens, but clearly oversized on netbooks.

What is your screen resolution ?
