ok, lets put some effort into this one. I am not a C programmer, but lets see 
where we get to.
I downloaded the source code for evolution, in the file 
evolution-2.26.0/plugins/startup-wizard/startup-wizard.c it includes libgnomeui 
and creates a gnome druid (a wizard) it does not do anything at all that I can 
see to specify the dimensions of the druid. It seems the bug may be not in 
evolution but in libgnomeui
I have seen a dell mini 9 running Ubuntu netbook remix with a small evolution 
window, maybe there was a patch for the lpia architecture in libgnomeui to make 
smaller druids.
Anyhow I got the source for libgnomeui-2.24.1, in the libgnomeui folder there 
is gnome-druid.c, this contains some algorithms for sizing the window I think, 
but I don't really understand them yet, or why they don't work.
