Ah yeah exactly, the size was determined by the designer. I don't see what's 
wrong with that approach.

Well it is a modal dialog, and when the space is used in a useful way, then 
that makes the size reasonable. And since the quickopen list can contain very 
long file-paths, or even whole function signatures, the largest possible size 
that keeps the dialog usable for everyone and does not introduce too much 
whitespace is reasonable.

Since you even the smallest netbook has a screen resolution of at least 
800x480, something like 760x400 would be a reasonable size.
