Per noted, that this is a problem with 800x600 resolution.
I don't think so. You can play with 800x600 ok.

I guess it's another problem: When starting the client with a window
size of, let's say, 800x600, connect and then start the game,
the client does a resize of its window on game start: the height is
increased a bit, so that (on 800x600 screens) the bottom of the message
window runs out of the screen. The user may not be aware of this, he just
thinks something is missing.

You can watch this resize (on your mega screens ;) when you resize
the client to about 800x600 before starting the game.

So the question is why this resize happens.
