Ah, I guess you are using the default (45x45) tiles?  :-)
I tested the patch and it fit ok on my 800x600 screen, but
I was using 30x30 tiles...   (More than the map window, this 
affects the size of the current unit/tile display on the 
left-hand side.)  (The size of the map used in the game can 
also be a factor, for the minimap display.)

Personally I think 45x45 tiles are too large for a 800x600
screen; this is partly why we include a 30x30 tileset in the
distribution.

I've just checked in Vasco's original patch for now, but we 
can still consider the above changes, thanks.
