When I try to reconfigure acidlab with : dpkg-reconfigure acidlab, the 
gnome frontend open a big window that go over the screen. If I maximize 
it, I can't see some options. I think a scrollbar missing to the gnome 
frontend.

Cheers,

Well, I've tried to fix this problem. For that I modified
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm .
Here's the diff :

<       $this->druid->show;
<       $this->win->add($this->druid);
- ---
|
|
|       $this->scroll(Gtk2::ScrolledWindow->new);
|       $this->scroll->add_with_viewport($this->druid);
|
|       $this->win->add($this->scroll);
|       $this->win->show_all;

I'm just a nOob in perl-gtk, so if someone can improve it (for the
moment, the window is too short). I think the best would be to modify
Druid window and add to it a "viewport".


Cheers,
