I worked on the layout of all the configuration dialog pages taking
space out and reducing the size of the text rendering areas on the
language and display pages. It is basically all that can be done
without restructuring. The size is now about 600x400. I think it
looks pretty good but the rendered text for the font chooser might
be a little small. Please send your thoughts about it.
