Title:
  update-manager output window should be resizable and initial size
  should fit the screen

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Hi,
  I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 on my netbook.

  Due to the screen resolution I wasn't able to open the detail window
  (terminal view during) updates, because the action buttons /cancel,
  continue/ are missing.

  The window should adapt its height according to the screen resolution
  - maybe scrollbars can be added to the whole window/panel that
  contains the 'details'-window.

  As a workaround I closed the terminal view and used alt+mouse to move
  the window out of screen to reach the action buttons. This is
  impossible if a modal dialogue appears during updates.

  Due to the fact that 10.10 aims at netbooks this behaviour were a
  great ease for update-manager (especially if things go wrong during
  system updates and configs need to be merged a.s.o.)
