[Bug 1062975] [NEW] If slideshow isn't installed, install window resizes to a small window

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

Since we with the Ubuntu GNOME Remix didn't get an installer slideshow
done early enough so that translators could work on it, we will probably
ship our release without a slideshow.

Once ubiquity gets to the install phase, ubiquity resizes to fit the
string size. This looks especially bad at certain parts of the install
process as the window resizes multiple times in a row to fit the
changing strings. Screenshot attached.

What should happen
================
I think the install window should stay the same size.

Alternatively, I guess we could do a one-page image only slideshow or
similar.
