The Evolution Preferences Window is too "tall" on my screen 1366x768.

xwinfo output

  Absolute upper-left X:  315
  Absolute upper-left Y:  53
  Relative upper-left X:  315
  Relative upper-left Y:  53
  Width: 738
  Height: 766

With the standard gnome panels (2) you can't see the default window buttons (OK, Cancel) which is frustrating and just looks bad.

There is also almost no content that would require the window too bee fixed size and that big.

The window is also fixed and non-resizable.

My recommendation would be to make the window flexible and lower the size of the category icons on the left pane. Another solution would be to switch to a tree-view or list-view instead of the grid-view of the icons.

Hope this gets fixed and pushed into Ubuntu 10.10 at the same time. Thanks.
