Stage 3 is unnecessarily wide.  And once you reach this stage, the next stage (4 = start-up) will be just as much wide.  The same then if you go back.

I do not know whether that's a gtk only issue.

Interesting; will give it a look.

Btw, to try the Qt plugin: yast2 --qt

Comment 2 Forgotten User h13THG8RK1 2010-08-17 15:16:44 UTC

So, both graphical plugins work identically when it comes to the window geometry. The window stars with a fixed size, and this size will expand, if necessary and if possible, to cope with its contents.

The difference is that in the Qt plugin the initial window size is more generous, so more rarely does the window have to be increased on-the-fly (though this is fairly rare for Gtk too when using default fonts). We should consider therefor increasing the initial window size for Gtk.

We could also consider a different sizing policy. Such as returning the window size to normal when the window contents change.
