Screenshot of the issue

Description of problem:
Dialog boxes which appear during a software update do not fit on a netbook screen, which makes it impossible to press OK.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I am using Fedora 14 on an i386 architecture. However I would imagine the bug exists on any architecture. 

How reproducible:
Run 'software update' on a netbook or other computer with a 1024x600 screen resolution. 
If dependencies are required, a dialog appears asking for confirmation but the portion of the dialog which contains the OK button is missing as it extends below the viewable screen area (see attached screenshot).


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just run software update on a netbook where dependencies are required. Or use a VM with screen resolution set to 1024x600.

  
Actual results:
The whole dialog box should be visible, or a maximise button should be available. 

Expected results:
The bottom of the dialog box is missing. It's impossible to click the OK button. The dialog can't be maximised. 

Additional info:
It's possible to workaround the problem by using yum update.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 15:18:13 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
