The preferences dialog on an Eee PC (701) screen is a real pain, it is 
too big vertically.  800x480 screen, plus a window manager bar at the 
bottom, plus some chunky window decorations up the top.  For a window to 
fit conveniently on a standard Eee PC screen it needs to be 422 pixels 
vertically it looks like (the standard decorations are VERY chunky :)
