i've toyed around a bit with the correlation plot of rk.FactorAnanlysis. 
here's how it comes up for the first time, with plot and code preview 
activated:

i deactivated code preview and rescaled the plot so it is fully visible:

then i closed the dialog, re-opened it and re-activated the plot preview 
again:

shouldn't it remember its geometry?

activateing the code again makes things worse:

we were much better off with the configurable default preview height for code 
below the dialog, for my taste.

to actually see both comfortably, the whole dialog must be rescaled rather 
drastically:

it wastes a lot of screen in the left center.

ideally, but probably only for this particular dialog, this would be my 
preferred view, as it makes the best use of screen space:

this would show the code preview with the same width as is does until now, but 
add the plot right to it. things are different if the buttons are moved, of 
course. and we'd need some intelligent resizing rules depending on the 
previews visible. i'd rather leave the plot unchanged until one manually 
resizes the window. does this makes any sense?
