Hi there,
Right now there are in effect two title bars. You have the YaST@machine one and then the Wizard title. If you implemented the Wizard widget, you could put that information in the same space. (It would also be cool to tie the two bars through a border around the dialog... Especially now, without the help side bar, width is not an issue.) You could also simply merge the top bar into the right corner of the shortcut bar -- hiding it if there's no space left for it. That information doesn't seem important at all anyway. If you just present it in the control center it would be more than enough already.
This sounds like a good solution for enlarging the contents area but we still have to cope with 80x25 vs 80x24 issue. Frankly, I'd rather vote for leaving 80x25 the ncurses frontend is rather used on console (which has minimally 80x25) and advise to use Qt/GTK instead of running a Gnome terminal or xterm from XWindows. Moreover, please, keep the status/help line in ncurses ;) It helps in cases when UI fails to show the control buttons (still one line more but often more than one line is missing due to wrong design anyway).
