Hi Britton,

that's weird.  Since the latest (last?) GTK2 update, I get unreasonably 
large widgets on my screen; I assumed this was done with the intention to 
accommodate for such screens.  Maybe an update to GTK 2.24.33 
fixes/alleviates the issue for you?

If you are using Ubuntu, this is probably an issue with the GTK theme. 
It may be worth looking specifically for a GTK theme designed for high 
resolution, but I have no experience with that so far.
