I agree that this dialog should be shorter, but I think we still need an
overflow solution. I can always make the display smaller or make the fonts
larger.
Alternately, we should pick a target minimum font size+display height and
say we don't support user configurations less than that (kind of like how we
set the minimum browser window size).
