[Bug 1025674] Re: List of updates is much too short by default

Okay, I'm working on this now! Should it be possible to shrink that list
below the default size, or would you prefer we keep it as a minimum?

I'm linking a branch with just the latter solution: the update list has
a minimum height of 250px. That fits 10 updates in the group-by-
applications branch. (About five with the list in trunk). Here is a
screenshot: http://ubuntuone.com/1lh234wy2V7IEdKyeSZ6P6

Another option is to change the default window height (which is a dconf
key), still allowing the window to be smaller than that. That change
isn't quite as simple, but I'm happy to include it if you'd prefer that.
(It's already done, actually). It might be useful to have a larger
default height as well as a particular minimum, just to make sure the
list is never pointlessly small, but then the minimum for being useful
might be a good default anyway.
