More info from the HIG. Quoting this page:
http://wiki.openusability.org/guidelines/index.php/Checklist_Configuration_Dialogs
"""
3. Dialog layout
CL1/3.1 The dialog should be resizable. (the latter is important for
accessibility)
CL1/3.2 The dialog shouldn't resize itself when you switch to another page
or tab.
CL1/3.3 The overall size of the dialog shouldn't be bigger than 800x600.
CL1/3.4 The dialog should have scrollbars which appear when not all options
are visible.
"""
So I would say the patch makes dialogs more HIG compliants.
Nevertheless I do not think of this patch as the dialog silver bullet. It's
more like a better way to handle the worse case. We still should fix the
biggest dialogs. I am doing so in SystemSettings and other apps, but it's a
huge work.
