I was using MandrakeUpdate 8.1 and got some really long error-message
complaining about failed installation due to library conflicts.
The error-dialog was not able to handle this message correctly, because it
made the dialog bigger than my screen-height is.

     ----> I was not able to see OK/(Cancel) buttons on the dialog and was
forced to close the dialog from the top-right.

How about making dialog always relatively small and using scroll-bars in
situations where message-text length is bigger than the size
available in the dialog?

After closing the error-dialog from the top-right, MandrakeUpdate seemed to
go somekind infinite loop,
it said that it was installing packages, but there didn't came any details
from the packages it was installing...
I killed MandrakeUpdate, but now it will hang whenever I try to open it.
(Same seems to happen for GnoRPM and
rpm from command-line, if I try to use it for something)
