for anyone else seeing this, yes you can work around by alt-click-drag
the dialog up beyond the top of the screen, then right-click resize
dialog downward, but even that procedure is fraught with trouble.
Sometimes the window manager is too helpful and tries to help you resize
the dialog horizontally and not vertically. ALSO you have to alt-click
drag the dialog back down to reach the top again.

It would be SO much easier if Evolution (and other panels with large
numbers of options) added scroll bars when the contents are too small to
fit the dialog.

It's very nice that the Ubuntu Netbook Edition packagers added the
"smarts" so maximus knows not to maximize Evolution's dialogs, but
apparently it can't get in there and make the insides more visible. Or
could it?
