Details

When you load a brand-new installation of the browser and hit Preferences,
the dialog box pops up far too small for all the UI elements.  They get
cut off at the right and bottom.  And the box has no resize handles.

You can resize it if your window manager has a forcible resize command, and
it then remembers the size it was set to, but this will be extremely
confusing and irritating to new users (who may have no idea that there is
any such thing as a forcible resize).

I suspect this is a general problem with XPToolkit dialog boxes; the "open
file" dialog box comes up with the right hand side of the list cut off, too. 
They should take their size from the size of the elements they contain.
