+1 for this

As a side note, I have noticed that going from oVirt 3.2.3 to 3.3.0
the horizontal needs are greater.
For example refresh icon/button at the top right of the main admin
portal is shown as a half row if window size is too small
horizontally.
And "Users" tab and "Events" are then shown on next line down.
Also at 1176x885 is not good enugh.
It works instead ok at 1280x1024 and 1366x768 both full screen; see link:
In my opinion it should desirable to give chance to have a correct
behavior at least at 1024x768.
Using xwininfo it seems that the first size I get correct and complete
horizontal layout is 1268 at the moment, using xwininfo on oVirt
3.3.0.
Complete xwininfo output:

xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
          would like information by clicking the
          mouse in that window.
