Some of the programs in KDE, for example KpowerSave and Amarok (or even the panel configuration) have configuration windows that are so big that they don't fit on my screen! .. It is very annoying, as the "OK" button to save changes is beyond reach. The screen is the mini-laptop screen ("wxsvga" or how it is called..?).
The dialogs are just too flaming big. The workaround is to use alt+drag on a window to move it so you can get at all the parts, or setup a large virtual desktop that you can scroll by mousing to the edge (which I haven't tried for years...). Unfortunately the only fix is to go through them with Qt Designer and make them smaller again, by rearranging things in the dialogs, adding tabs, or hiding things in Advanced extensions. This is an excellent way to get started with Qt/KDE development. I've been prodding people to work on this in kdepim and on kopete, but there are a lot of dialogs to fix. FWIW it's not just KDE apps which have oversized dialogs... Will
