Bug Description
When using the new version of update-manager to upgrade Breezy to Dapper Beta the update-manager gives you the choice of opening a terminal. If you run X in 800x600 you cannot see the last 1/3 of the dialog because it is outside of the visible area. This, imho, should be considered a bug since you are not able to scale the size of the dialog and should the user be requested for input the said user has no way of knowing this yet even be able to see the possible input. This could break the installation procedure.
I will render it a very serious bug because a some point during the installation process the dialog automatically opens the terminal with no option of restoring to dialog mode.

I cannot confirm this. If I maximize the application, I can see the whole window as well as the other dialogs for the upgrade process. I was able to successfully upgrade to dapper on 800x600.
However, I agree that update-manager is rather large for 800x600 though.
