You are right about the need for rearrangement and it is probably too tall for
640x480.  On my system it would fit in 800x600 as it it sized at about 320x580
with window decorations.  I'm spoiled and use 1600x1200 so I often forget about
visibility on smaller screens.

I'm open for suggestions on how to re-arrange the dialog, but it probably
won't be easy since the print dialog is from libgnomeprint.  I seem to recall
seeing some app used a slightly different API that gives the app a little more
control of the dialog - I'll try and find it.
