Hi List,
I want to ask something about the size and behaviour of Qt dialogs of
QGIS on Gnome3 on Debian.
I've noticed that the dialogs (like the Project/Project properties
dialog) are not real floating dialogs anymore. They are a sort of
attached to the menubar of the QGIS application Window.
I cannot take the dialog and move it to another screen or place. Some
plugin dialogs (like the Georeferencer dialog/window) I can still move
around.
This should be ok, but the 'fixed' dialogs you can not resize in both
directions: only the width can be changed.
For certain dialogs the buttons are almost out of view:

Mind you: the bottom is really the bottom of my screen.
In a normal dialog I could (using alt-mouse) move it up to come to the
buttons. But with these fixed dialogs this is not possible.
De-maximizing the QGIS window (by double clicking the Titlebar) only
works for the QGIS window:

So questions:
- am I the only one with this little annoyances
- is this debian/gnome3 only behaviour, or can I choose the standard
type of dialogs?
- do I need a bigger screen for QGIS (or: what is the minimum size of a
dialog supposed to be for QGIS.)
I'm normally working/building QGIS on a little 12.5 inch screen laptop
with 1366x768 LED. When doing gis stuff I have a second large monitor
attached to it.
Mind you, I'm not against big dialogs (though I prefer wider dialogs
then), and I'm aware of the space problems we always have with our dialogs.
I could also imaging that it has something to do with other window
toolkits (?android). I think we should try to serve both worlds, and I
can live with my 'problems' if that makes it easier to develop for both
worlds.
Regards,
Richard Duivenvoorde
