I have to disagree with the low/wishlist importance. This bug seriously
impacts usability and "polish". It is the kind of thing that a
commercial operating system would not let slip through and reinforces
the impression that Linux-based OSs are left unfinished.

Title:
  Disk Utility (palimpsest) doesn't resize itself anymore, requiring
  users to do so to use it

Bug description:
  The Disk Utility program (palimpsest) used to resize itself after
  selecting a drive.  Now, when you select a drive, the window is ALWAYS
  too small, REQUIRING the user to make it bigger or to scroll the
  scroll bars to see all the options in the right panel.

  One solution to this issue would be to bring back the behaviour of the
  old program which auto-resized itself.  While I can understand windows
  resizing themselves being a slightly annoying feature, this way it is
  now is much more so, and if you wanted to solve both issues you could
  simply make the default window size of Disk Utility be big enough to
  show the right panel without scrollbars after a drive is selected, or
  to reduce the size of things in the right panel so that it will fit in
  the existing default window size.
