Description Jared Silva 2012-08-01 02:19:13 UTC 
Please allow the gnome-control-center (System Settings) window to be maximized, unless this was specifically done for Unity in Ubuntu 12.04.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2012-08-01 08:05:26 UTC 
The fact that it's not resizable is not a bug. 
If you have problems with particular panels (e.g. data not shown or other issues), please elaborate which panel you exactly have a problem with (for example bug 649242 is still unfixed, or bug 675505).
Comment 2 Jared Silva 2012-08-03 02:40:45 UTC 
My issue seems to be more in line with bug 331835 mentioned in bug 675505.

When other settings icons are added to the System Settings window, such as MyUnity, the window will then have a scroll bar.  Should it not then be resizable and or maximizable also?
Comment 3 André Klapper 2012-08-03 08:27:19 UTC 
The window should automatically find the right size. Plus by default we do not allow other parties to add other icons, so if other parties feel like patching they might also want to take care of the fallout.

We don't support adding "other setting icons".

Seems that you didn't bother testing it. Test it and report a bug _after_ testing it.

I guess that's broken then. My window should be about 16px taller.
