Screenshot of the configuration window

SUMMARY
The 'activation' pane (that allows you to configure keyboard shortcuts) in the configuration window of the 'Desktop Grid' effect is too small even when the window is made very large, and the pane cannot be resized. This looks bad and is also inconvenient to use (I have to scroll to even see what the primary and secondary shortcuts are on my machine)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. System Settings > Workspace Behaviour > Desktop Effects
2. Open the configuration window for the 'Desktop Grid' effect
3. Maximize the window that is opened

OBSERVED RESULTS
Even after the window is maximized, the pane at the right that allows you to configure the keyboard shortcut is too small. This pane cannot be resized, and so one has to scroll horizontally just to completely view this pane. The left pane also does not have any content that justifies its large width.

EXPECTED RESULTS
A sane width for the 'shortcuts' pane by default. Alternatively, the panes could be stacked vertically like in the configuration window for the 'zoom' effect.

there is no longer a separate config page for the grid view in Plasma 6; so this is no longer capable of happening.
