/Please/ make sure that these dialogs don't increase *800* pixel
in width. The city dialog has to be fixed in that matter, too.

Why? Freeciv is a game with really moderate hardware requirements,
at least under Linux. While these mhz and ghz numbers increase all
the time, there is still a great number of smaller machines in the
real civilizations ... It's a plus for freeciv to run on these.

I play usually on 1024*768, but use sometimes 800*600 on a P 90
machine for lan games. Even on the 1024 resolution, I don't want
the dialogs cover my whole screen.

When I look at these big dialogs, I can see good possibilities for
optimization. If you develop on these, please check also some
localizations, e.g. the german one, and you will see arise
problems, which can be avoided.
