I've just tried xwininfo on=20 bluez-gnome-1.7 on both an Eee PC and a full sized PC (possibly with=20 slightly different support library versions). Full sized PC geometry for the preferences window is 420x521. EeePC=20 geometry for the same is 420x523. I'm not sure where the 2 pixel difference comes from (I don't think=20 the geometry here is including the window manager decorations). But=20 neither are close to 420x420. You weren't thinking 420x520 perchance?
