Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  * During oem-config mode, the window is presented too small and causes
  readability issues with the keyboard layout presentation (see
  screenshot 1). It is easily fixed by manually resizing the window
  (screenshot 2), but this is a bad user experience and a bad first-
  touch item for OEM users.

  This is easily fixed via the patch provided and has been fixed in
  Kinetic.

  [ Test Case ]

  * Download Kubuntu  22.04.1 ISO

  * Install via OEM Install Mode

  * Double-click "Prepare For Shipping", enter password, reboot.

  * Notice window is presented too small upon first run for intended
  user during oem-config mode. When selecting keyboard layout, the
  presentation is very bad and key labels overlap each other.

  [ Where things could go wrong ]

  * This is a one-line fix that makes the window 790 pixels wide,
  meaning it is just smaller than wide enough for a 800 pixel-wide
  monitor. However, this is wider than a 640 pixel-wide monitor, and
  users with that small of a monitor will be affected. However, using
  Kubuntu 22.04 on a 640x480 display is a self-inflicted bad user
  experience anyhow, so only a very small fraction of those users will
  be affected. Additionally, this only affects the OEM config, and as
  far as I know, no OEMs are shipping 640 pixel-wide displays.
