Interesting - that's not what I'm seeing.  I've just tried xwininfo on 
bluez-gnome-1.7 on both an Eee PC and a full sized PC (possibly with 
slightly different support library versions).

Full sized PC geometry for the preferences window is 420x521.  EeePC 
geometry for the same is 420x523.
  I'm not sure where the 2 pixel difference comes from (I don't think 
the geometry here is including the window manager decorations).  But 
neither are close to 420x420.  You weren't thinking 420x520 perchance?
