[Bug 64631] Status list has empty space on top when list popups at the bottom

[Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen]

Public bug reported:

Steps te reproduce:
  Open gaim main window.
  Drag gaim window to the bottom of your screen
  Click the status-button to change the status

Suggested priorty: low
Although it is the no. 1 bug that makes Gaim feel beta, it's just a visual glitch.

Possible cause:
  Th popup-list is moved upwards when the button is to low for the popup-list to show beneath. Yet the contents of the popup-list is always aligned at the same place: the first item is aligned on top of the button. 

What we could consider a fix:
  1. Make the popuplist either complete above or below the button based on the screen position.
  2. Make the contents position itself relatively to the popup-list.

** Affects: gaim (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
