 I'm using QGIS with an HP 110c mini netbook (because GIS should be
 portable too), with a screen resolution 1024x600.  Two essential QGIS
 menus - "Options" and "Raster Layer Properties" - default to a size that
 is too large for my screen resolution.  Specifically, the confirmation
 buttons at the bottom of each aren't visible or selectable, rendering the
 menus unuseable (see attached screenshots).  This is particularly
 problematic for raster display, since image interpretation is often
 impossible on the default drawing settings.

 I believe the problem could be fixed with either a vertical scrollbar in
 the menu windows or a smaller default launch size (though the latter
 option may be inconvenient for users with normal screen sizes).
