I would say disaster is a pretty strong word :) In fact if no one noticed or
complained until now, it means it is a pretty obscure (though interesting
and useful) feature.

1. Making it localisable and getting l10n for all available languages before
Monday seems unrealistic. Which doesn't mean that it shouldn't be tackled
ASAP
2. That is indeed annoying but adding l10n to that will only aggravate the
problem :)
3. Actually I think LO should use as the minimum reference 1024x600 (the
screen resolution of a 10" netbook)

HTH,
Pedro
