Could any of you gentle guys deploy a ppa with this palimpsest plus this
patch?

That would be just so nice!

** Description changed:

  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.
  
+ Moreover, when the window is "maximized", it is impossible to click on
+ the parts of it that are visible. As the user moves the mouse and
+ clicks, the window position keeps changing.
+ 
+ Worse, the window somehow decides to maximize itself.
+ This prevents the possible workaround of moving it with Alt+Mouse, rendering the GUI definitely impossible to use.
+ (When the user selects a filesystem mounted on the top of a cryptsetup mapper, whose path /dev/mapper/........... is too long, the window pops to maximized state by itself.)
+ 
  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.
