This inconsistency also annoys me and I found a little workaround.
Edit this file:
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/ui/shell.ui
In the beginning you will see these lines:
<object class="GtkWindow" id="main-window">
<property name="title" translatable="yes">System Settings</property>
<property name="resizable">False</property>
<property name="icon_name">preferences-desktop</property>
<property name="window_position">center</property>
Add this line after the last property:
<property name="width_request">1000</property>
And modify the resizable line to:
<property name="resizable">True</property>
This will fix the width to 1000 pixels or whatever you enter and make
the window resizable. You can also play with the height_request
property, similar to width_request. It won't remember anything when you
resize though. It will always open at 1000 px width. But at least the
damn scrollbar is gone and all icons are visible.
cheers peepz.
