Description Sam S. 2010-04-09 19:30:11 UTC 
Version:           3.9.99 (revision 1110252) (using KDE 4.4.2)

Looks weird.
Technically a non-issue as anyone can resize it to his liking, but first impressions count...
Also, not every writer of a KDevelop 4.0 review might be bothered to resize it before taking a screenshot, and it would be a shame this is how KDevelop would be portrayed on the web...

Problem is that we still have to care about netbook-size screens, which means 1024x768 as desktop size. So we can't just take some default size that will always show everything properly. Not to mention that font sizes and styles can adjust the look a lot too. 

Frankly, a review posted by someone who cannot be bothered to resize the window properly is not worth the disk space its stored on. I don't give a shit about such things.

SVN commit 1113076 by apaku:

Increase initial size a bit.

Default size may be a bit too smal to fit everything properly onto the
screen. Larger default size is not really possible, due to desktop size.
I'm anticipating 1024x768 as a reasonable smallest size for the desktop,
in which case this size is almost fullscreen.
