Hrmm... that works fine for me here too, Gaim 2.0.0 beta 4, GNOME
2.16.1, Clearlooks theme.  With the window maximized, I still see the
whole menu when I click the combo box, no scroll buttons.

I don't know what's causing the difference between our setups, so all I
can say is that it suggests what you (and others) are seeing sounds like
a bug, rather than a conscious design choice.  Which I suppose is a good
thing, sort of :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
