[Bug 685109] Re: natty: update-manager window is oversized on netbook

[Robert Roth]

Yes, Update Manager by default is taller than 600px, so this needs to be fixed. An ideal default height would be around 570px, because we also have the upper panel. Another solution would be to have the update-manager size based on monitor size by default, given as percentage, e.g. it should occupy 90% of the screen's height and 30% of the screen's width, but have a maximum size, like 500x570. (This could be the default behavior, but resizing would be allowed and after the first resize the saved values should be used)

Title:
  natty: update-manager window is oversized on netbook

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  The update manager window is oversized on a fresh natty alpha 1
  installation on a netbook with 1024x600 resolution. The title bar is
  not visible to the user and thus the window cannot be moved/minimized
  by inexperienced users.

  See attached screenshot.
