There is an upstream patch to ship the variable to gconf. It's not the perfect fix -- that would be deteching the screen height and working out how many entries we could paint -- but it's a million miles better than the current state of things.
I've seen this bug reported before (well over a year ago), dozens of forum threads about it all over the internet and there's still no sign of anybody taking it seriously.
I don't want to sound snotty but wouldn't it be even slightly possible to get the patch worked in at our side rather than waiting another eternity for Gnome to step up?
