gnome-appearance-properties doesn't resize the notebook widget

Thanks for your report, confirmed in Gutsy.

Could be this caused because of the recent changes to the appearance capplet?

not an upstream task, this is not reproducible with gnome-control-center without the ubuntu patches.

The package in question is capplets-data. The bug was introduced starting in capplets-data 1:2.20.0-0ubuntu3.

If you have cache of capplets-data packages you can verify this.

$ cp /var/cache/apt/archives/capplets-data_1%3a2.20.0-0ubunt* .
$ sudo dpkg -i ...-ubuntu1
test
$ sudo dpkg -i ...-ubuntu2
test
etc..

appearance.glade (-ubuntu3) line ~2139

<property name="label" translatable="yes">Visual Effects</property>
              </widget>
              <packing>
                <property name="type">tab</property>
                <property name="position">4</property>
                <property name="tab_fill">False</property>
              </packing>
            </child>
          </widget>
          <packing>

+ <property name="expand">True</property>
+ <property name="fill">True</property>
            <property name="position">1</property>
          </packing>
        </child>

This should fix the issue.

Can someone take a look at this patch?

Thanks for your work, there is already a 2.20.0.1 update with an updated patch which doesn't do other changes than the new tab which will be uploaded tomorrow and will fix this issue
