Comment 27 for bug 23810

now in Maverick the evolution preferences window in version 2.30.3 has a minimum size of around 690x780, thus quite a bit taller than a 768 high window with panels top and bottom. The reason seems to be the amount of content on the mail preferences-general tab. This pushes the size of the parent window out to the large size. This needs a scrollbox around it, I think the place to add this is around line 530 of widgets/misc/e-preferences-window.c
