I've also added a bit of logic that tries to detect when the window is too 
large to fit on screen, and points to the settings in this case. This should be 
available in the next daily builds. Perhaps you can give that a try, to see 
whether the message is shown for you (and of course whether the new settings 
work for you).

Making the windows smaller by default is not really a satisfying alternative. 
Whether the window is too large or too small depends on a lot of factors, 
including your screen resolution, what the X-server believes to be the 
physical size of your display, and user settings such as the location and size 
of your task bar, etc. So what's too large for you is just right for another, 
and already too small for a third user. And the more we shrink the window by 
default (at least in width), the more likely we are to run into problems with 
some of the toolbar icons dropping off to the right, on other users screens.

I simply didn't think about it. Changed in SVN.
