Hi, I just noticed this issue on Jaunty. Many laptops, especially 13" models, use 1280x800 screens. The dialog would fit in this resolution, but with Ubuntu's default gnome-panel setup, the panels take up too much vertical space. With the recent proliferation of netbooks, monitor sizes are taking a turn backwards -- for instance, the Eee PC 1000 has a 10" monitor with a resolution of 1024x600, onto which the dialog would certainly not fit. It would be nice to see a lighter design for the Evo preferences window to increase usability on small-screened systems and to help reduce unnecessary screen real-estate usage.
