Not since my rant about the discoverable preferences. The patched
version doesn't take any more space than the current layout, and fixes
discovery problems with the labels, so I would urge you to merge it.

I'll try to have a patch ready for squeezing the rest of the UI when
I've had more of a think about it.

Cheers

I think we can easily reduce the space taken by the visibility and
friendly name sections. I'll try to get a patch ready tomorrow.

Huh! It previewed with it attached... I think it's a Thunderbird
feature. Oh yeah, I attached it inline and Thunderbird stripped the
image out when I sent the email in text :) Amusing. Oh look, and I've
already deleted the image from my file system too.

Lets try again...

800x480 full screen. But the standard window manager decorations on the
EeePC make anything taller than 422 pixels start to not fit.

You haven't attached anything :) I would recommend Evolution's
attachment reminder plugin :)

There might be some spacing issue still, as well as a too high default
size. What's the size of the display on the EeePC again?

It's an improvement. I've attached what it looks like (in relatively
stock EeePC 701 environment).

It's still too tall to see the Delete button and the Close button
without dragging the window up and down.

Of course, it's not the only thing that produces windows too tall for
this display :)
