That would be the first solution... The non-trivial part would not be to
actually make it the max size but to find the max size... Maybe it is
fairly trivial (just loop through all possible improvements - once) but
I'm not sure everyone would prefer a dialog that is wider than it has to
be most of the time to a dialog that resizes once in a while when you
loop through cities... The strongest objection to the original version
of the new dialog as I got it was that is was too wide...

However, I'm not really anti this myself, I have a fairly large
monitor... But perhaps it could be discussed separately and added later
if so decided?
