In particular, gdialog ignores any height/width arguments given on the
command line. But there also seems to be an issue with our build of
gtk2 -- the scrolled window is higher on Linux than on Sun, but when
I built and installed the gtk2 library on Linux, gdialog exhibited
the same problem. (This despite the fact that we seem to be using
the same version of gtk2 as used in Redhat 9).
It looks like the plan is to drop gdialog (perhaps in favor of zenity);
it doesn't seem to be in the latest gnome-utils sources.

I think the "Exit" option should remain first, as the default (and
safest) choice, and the second option line is only partially visible
on my Sun. An alternative would be to hack gdialog to disable vertical
scrolling when the given list-height (currently ignored) is at least as
great as the number of entries, i.e. forcing all entries to be shown.
I'll submit a patch with that hack.
