Two changes here 1. In gtk_request_fields(), if there are enough fields to justify the scrollbar, then add a 6 pixel padding around the inside of the scrolled window so that the fields aren't crammed in there like sardines. See /config in an XMPP chat, or Set User Info for an XMPP account to see what it's like. 2. In the same place, if the dialog is resized larger then have the widgets within the dialog expand to fill the extra space.
