I was just about to answer this with a "no", but I'm not quite as
convinced that there isn't some way to change the font as I was about 2
minutes ago. I'm afraid its too late for me to experiment with it
tonight.

There is no way to force gnucash to particular window sizes
unfortunately, and as we try to fit more on the screen, the tendency is
for the windows to slowly get bigger (after all, I'm reasonably
confident that none of the developers are still using an 800x600 screen
resolution....).
This may be a possibility to be addressed as part of the conversion to
Gnome2, however. Could you please raise an "enhancement" priority bug
against GnuCash on bugzilla.gnome.org so that it doesn't get forgotten. 

Conrad.
