Konversation 1.2.1+ from git snapshot at 2010-01-12.

The settings window is too tall for the increasingly popular netbooks, which usually have a native resolution of 1024x600. Such netbooks include the MSI Wind with its derivatives and the Acer Aspire One. The window cannot be resized to fit, so it's impossible to hit OK to apply changed settings.

...unless the user knows of a way to move the window outside the boundaries of the desktop workspace, such as (with KWin) by holding Alt and dragging the window upwards. That's not obvious for a new user, who's now left with the options to either tab and "guess" to hit the OK button with the keyboard, or to just ESC out of the menu and be unable to change any settings.

This is in the works, sorry it's taking so long.
