Working on the Manual, saw this for the umpteenth time: the dialog box for pkexec is extremely wide (it overwhelms my testing machine). I can't find a config file for it, but it would be preferable to shrink the length in half, or so.

As far as I can determine, the basic layout is determined by polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1. It is hard-coded in src/polkitgnomeauthenticationdialog.c
It's probably not a package I should try to modify and rebuild, and we are a bit late in the process to switch to another authentication agent.

opendesktop.org 800+ XFCE themes

Would be helpful to split this from the beta-testing topic, into a topic dedicated to reporting:

themes folks have test-installed (to confirm working) and that they recommend for inculsion within a future curated collection.
(and, for each recommended candidate, the url of its screenshots+download page)

We also seemed to have dropped the greybird themes ported over from Debian that provided greybird-accessability and -compact window decorations.

Scratch that---I was looking in the wrong settings, they are there.

Please do (and post to xfce.org to announce its availability)
It's a several-years-long outstanding bug, and affects all of debian downstream XFCE, Cinnamon, and Unity (as acknowledged by debian here)

The package is (has been) seldom updated, so shouldn't need frequent followup attention.
I'm suggesting (but haven't tested) the following quick modifications:

gtk_window_set_resizable (GTK_WINDOW (dialog), TRUE);
. . .
gtk_widget_show_all (dialog->priv->table_alignment);
gtk_window_resize (dialog, 600, 480); /** TBD (blind to length of translation strings, I can't guess the ideal dimensions) **/
response = gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog));

No doubt that is because it's not in any of the repos. I'll see if we can add it. But Ubuntu also dropped it after 14.04, so there may be something wrong with it.
