Bug Description
Binary package hint: xchat
From the network list window, I click on Freenode, then click edit.
The window that shows up is too tall for the netbook screen, and the entire window is not viewable. The only option is to close the window.

I don't know what is the GNOME usability guideline about minimum display resolutions, but this window measures ~660px. Most netbook screens have about 1024px width x 600px height, so this clearly will not fit. Designing this window in a more horizontal organization will certainly improve usability on this point.
