** Description changed:

- Palimpsest has reported SMART errors on my internal flash disk (do they
- even have SMART?) However the issue is that the GUI is larger than the
- small screen on my netbook (800x480).
+ gnome-disk-utility does not fit netbook screen. the window height is
+ much more than 576px which basically make the app unusable on a netbook
+ screen. The attached patch works fine as its already working in Meego
+ and also its attached to the upstream bug report but there has been no
+ activity from the upstream developers for more than 9months.
  
- Clicking any of the buttons in the GUI, or attempting to resize the
- left/right panes just flicks the entire interface from left to right. If
- I repeatedly click in random places, I might hit on a button when it's
- shifting from side-to-side but it's effectively unusable. The entire
- window is shifting from half-off-screen to the left, then half-off-
- screen to the right.
- 
- I've not seen this behaviour on any other app within Ubuntu Karmic
- Alpha, so assume it's specific to Palimpsest. Hopefully this can be
- resolved so I can run further tests on my disk :)
+ TEST CASE: start gnome disk-utility on a netbook with 600px vertical
+ pixels, click on the name of your hardrive. gdu window will do some
+ weired things as it dont fit on the screen so basically becomes
+ unusable.
