[Bug 1477757] [NEW] users-admin does not scale down to 800x600 display with window decorations on lubuntu

 

Public bug reported:

To reproduce crate a new user in users admin and then click on account
type to change the user account type on a 800x600 display that virtual
machiens can end up stuck at or netbooks. Virtual machienes. This still
can be a problem for virtual machienes as there a quite a few laptops
which still to this day ship with 1366x768 and if you are running a vm
in windowed mode you will most likely want a smaller resolution. As such
the ok button to change user type gets cut off by lxpanel by too much
padding when your account type of the newly created user is custom. IF
set to desktop

Description:	Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release:	15.10

I expected the window to fit in the screen considering lubuntu targets
older hardware which on laptop might not support largerest resolution.
Instead if I have it set to normal user I don't get it cut off on the
screen. In lxde with openbox a partial workaround is to undecorate the
window then it barely fits but you cannot say minimize it with the mouse
easily.
