Screenshot on my EeePC 701, with the network names blanked.

Description of problem:

If you have a low-resolution screen (like on a EeePC 701, which is 800x480) and a large enough number of visible wireless networks, the expanded menu (after clicking on the "More..." item) gets cut off and is not scrollable (so you cannot see all the networks). I believe this would also happen on a higher-resolution screen if you have a really large number of visible wireless networks.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-shell-2.91.92-3.fc15.i686
NetworkManager-0.8.997-4.git20110325.fc15.i686

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go somewhere with enough visible wireless networks
2. Click on the network icon at the top of the screen
3. Click on the More... option

Actual results:

The menu is cut off by the bottom of the screen. You cannot scroll it. Some of the network names shown by nm-tool are not visible on the screen.

Expected results:

The menu should be scrollable, or some alternative way of showing all the visible wireless networks on the menu should be available.

Workaround is to go to Network Settings / Wireless.
