Actually, a search of the archives will prove futile, as the standard 
response is, "if you want a better setup, code it yourself."  Since most of 
the people asking this question are a bit green in their programming 
skills, and in fact may be complete neophytes, the response to "code it 
yourself" is somewhat cold.

How about a kinder, gentler response like, "we are trying to find someone 
with the skill and will to re-code the setup program to provide for window 
resizing, but as of yet have no takers."
