Apologies, I didn't realize I needed to quote. I forgot this was going to a mailing list. I'm reading and writing on the forum where the whole thread is visible.

This is moot for me now as I've corrected it locally. (I'm about to send in the patch in case it's deemed worthy of integration.)

Here's the original post by Hollis Waite(http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061&dsMessageId=2301890):

Even if one concedes that each component should always have enough space to be usable, the minimum list/table/textbox sizes seem excessive in many cases. The worst offender is the 'Log Messages' dialog. With my laptop's maximum 1280x800 resolution, I still can't fit the full window on my screen without hiding the taskbar.

Oh, I see. Let me amend my initial request then. Is it possible forward a dialog resize request to the internal components? Something like the 'weight' feature of Swing's GridBagLayout? Each component might have a minimum size and another number representing its proportional consumption of any excess space.
