YaST shell is too small

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0

Previously YaST's GTK+ shell was exactly the size of the GNOME System Settings window, so that the YaST shell visually replaced the GNOME window. It's a nice visual effect, but it's been broken in 12.3 because now the GNOME window is bigger. We should increase the default size of the YaST window accordingly.

Screenshot of the issue attached; you shouldn't be able to see the GNOME window underneath YaST.

Reproducible: Always




(This is pretty minor!)

This fix is probably more suitable for Factory than for 12.3. The icons on the last row of the shell (default startup size) are cut off -- as they were before, but it looks a lot worse with bigger icons, arguably worse than leaving the shell at its present incorrect size.  Probably renaming "System Keyboard Layout" to "Keyboard Layout" would fix that which I presume is not feasible within the current time frame; and anyway (1) it's a big changeset, and (2) a more robust solution would be desirable (which would be something to coordinate with upstream).

yast2-control-center-gnome 2.23 (already in Factory) fixes this issue and does not suffer from the issue I described above. A version update for 12.3 might be appropriate since v2.23 looks much better; if that's not desired then this bug can just be closed.

There's not much value in an update that changes the user interface and nothing else. This will be in 13.1.
