Huh, that was a real though one - I spend several days on it now, but 
still no optimal solution!

I've committed an automatism to svn, once the recent files list get 
above 17 or the capture interface list get's above 8, the list will be 
placed into a scolled window. The magic numbers 8 and 17 comes from the 
number of items to be placed without application scollbars with a min. 
screen resolution of 1024*768 (appl will have slightly more than around 
1000*700 pixels left).

Although I think it's better than before, I'm still not really satisfied 
with the current solution. But I'm just too tired/bored to work even 
further on it ...
