There is an overall problem with anything thats a fixed size. A lot of
gnome-games is fixed size and we get bug reports complaining that it is
a) too large for 640x480
b) too small for 1600xlots
I suspect that regardless of what size you use there will be people who
dislike it. Maybe, as an idea for 2.6, the default size could be some
percentage of the screen height.
