gnome-search-tool can grow to larger than vertical size of screen

[Paul Larson]

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Steps to reproduce:
1. click on "Select more options"
2. keep clicking the "Add" button until the vertical size of the window grows beyond the edge of the screen

There is no scrollbar to facilitate scrolling the larger window created by adding criteria.

Confirmed on Karmic alpha 5.
I think lots of applications have the same problem, tough. Maybe some project should be launched gnome-wise, to change every gnome application's GUI to be more vertically resizable, at least to be usable on netbooks (which often have 600px vertical resolution).
