I've detected that, with some screen resolutions, GUI behaves in a very
strange fashion. Perhaps you have a screen with a great amount of 
pixels and not so much screen size (for instance, 1600x1400 with a 15.4
screen, and screen DPI setted accurately.
If so, the workaround may be to set system screen resolution to 96 DPI,
what beahaves standar way, but with big resolutions gives small on
screen fonts.
Please, send us a complete description of your system to fix this
problem. We've made some minor changes about that, but it seems it's not
ready yet.
By the way , I suppose you're using 1.0 stable release. in RC3 there
were still some resolution problems.
