I thought we agreed that we'd change it to be resizable to a 3.1 inch window if there was a lot of interest in that. Then when everyone got used to that, we'd make a 3.2 inch window available. We'd time these carefully at six month intervals so as not to alarm anyone.
Then by 2010 we'd have something like a 4.4 inch window available.
"A 4.4 inch window should be enough for anyone."
And you can quote me on that.

Anon,
You could outsmart cgf by buying a larger monitor. What appears as a 3-inch window on a 15-inch monitor would be 4.5-inch on a 22-inch screen. By 2010, 45-inch monitors will be common place, and setup's chooser will thus be (wow!) 9 inches wide; that's double what cgf is promising you!
