[GNC] Can not resize GnuCash Preferences window

This may not be ideal for your situation, but try a higher resolution 
with a larger system font.

Most modern video hardware performs better and lasts longer at its 
native resolution though. There are ways to find that on Debian. 
Ideally, run it at native resolution and adjust UI items to suit your 
needs. (and/or use the accessibility features)

However, 768 seems like a reasonable minimum vertical resolution to 
target since it is fairly common for screens less than 1080.

----
I think the lack of sizing control is a GTK issue, but the devs would 
know for sure.

Regards,
Adrien
