I agree.  Besides the cramped look (or because of it), I found it difficult 
to find quickly all the infomation I normally need from the new dialog.  
Another unrelated problm is that the dialog window can be very slow to come 
up.  This already happens with the current city dialog when using the 
isometric tileset, but the new dialog makes it a lot worse.
