Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?
   Read all about the Finance Board without logging in.

What's wrong:
   If you use xinfo as an "other option" from the login prompt,
   xinfo places a full-screen window on the screen.  When you
   try and view the "Committees" menu, 19 of the 30 committees
   are inaccessible because they're off-screen.  With no window
   manager, there's no way to select any of these items.

What should have happened:
   xinfo should break the 30-item listing up into smaller groups
   like it does for other very long lists.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
