unity dash too big for netbook screen, application etc selectiors at the bottom not visible

[Andy Whitcroft]

On a 1024x768 screen (a very very common size) the default unity dashboard is too large for the screen. This renders the house, ruler, music, and piece of paper icon selector are off the bottom of the screen.

With a vanilla install of the Oneiric daily live cd (15th August), I get this same problem on an Asus Eee PC 1000HA with a screen resolution of 1024x600. There's no way to resize the Unity dash, choose the Music/Applications/Files lenses nor full screen the dash.
