One thing I have noticed since I moved to KDE4 is a a lot of the dialogs have gotten big, so big they won't all fit on my display. I went from a 12" laptop to a 9" netbook so my screen resolution is limited and everything else is fine (performance,etc) the dialog boxes are just too tall for the common netbook res of 1024 x 600.

Err, isn't this the exact aim of the KDE netbook interface as seen on the Kubuntu Netbook Remix?

eugenine - file a bug report on every dialog you use that doesn't fit on your netbook. Ideally throw in a screenshot.

Developers will fix problems if you are specific. Bug each dialog that causes problems, not 'all dialogs'.

http://bugs.kde.org

If any don't get fixed, drop me an email and I'll create a patch myself.

@Kubuntiac: Not quite. Kubuntu Netbook Remix uses Plasma's new netbook interface, which only affects the workspace.

I'm marking this bug as Invalid, since it's not really a concrete idea - when can we mark this as done, for example?
Reporting bugs for individual dialogs, as suggested by david_edmundson, is the way to go.

Works for me, I wanted to double check before I filed a bunch of bug requests. I filled out the one for korganizer already
