When starting a new profile we assume you are running at a lowest common denominator resolution such as 800x600 by fixing the width at 800 and the height at 565 pixels. This makes the first look experience less than desireable at high resolutions where the app comes up so small. Let's steal Ben's fix for Firefox to calculate a reasonable height and width based on the available height and width of the current resolution.

I played around with a variety of high resolutions (1024x768 and up). Using a factor of .8 times the width and .8 times the available height worked best for most of these high resolutions.
fixed for 0.6 and the trunk. I'll be curious to see how these scaling factors work on OSX and Linux. In theory they should look the same.
