Well, it does already. But with GTK, there's a minimum size a Widget 
takes, so it can't become smaller - if you minimize the page even 
smaller than the sum of those minimum widget sizes, the page will show 
up scrollbars. The Widget settings I've chosen are for a min. resolution 
of 1024*768, before scrollbars appear (well, slightly less about 
1000*700 or so, so there's some space left for things like a startmenu).

I'm currently working on a mechanism to automatically show scrollbars 
for the recent file/interface lists, if they are very large - we'll see 
if I have success with this.
