For reference for others, here's the public url:

Ok, so the plot window is too high to fit into the available space at all. If 
the toolbar would be hidden, the window would probably fit, but of course 
hiding the toolbar by default is not a good solution. As far as I can see, the 
icons are as small as possible, already, and turning off the text labels would 
save width, but not height.

Well, the size of the plot window can be controlled in R. See ?x11. To use a 
smaller size by default, you can run
   X11.options (width=5, height=5)
(width and height need to be specified in inches). I suppose we could offer a 
graphical option for this in the settings, but it's a bit tricky, since it 
will need some platform-specific code. So not before 0.5.4 is released, at 
least.
