Description Julien Olivier 2012-02-17 09:31:25 UTC 
The "all settings" view uses a fixed geometry. The problem is that it displays labels whose size can differ from one language to another, and thus the vertical size of the content of the window can differ from one language to another, which results in a scrollbar being necessary. I think it would be better to pre-calculate the height of each label and dynamically adjust the window size accordingly.

This is a very stupid and arrogant comment, but I'm going to point you to the revelant documentation anyway: http://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/pango-Layout-Objects.html#pango-layout-get-height

I would also point you to the fact that the shell has no visibility into this as that would be hidden inside a cell renderer, inside a GtkIconView, and that the window isn't sized to the text size at all. If I were you, I'd stop the patronising comments before claiming people are arrogant.

OK, you won, I shut up now. Thanks for your help.
