Description

I'm on a netbook with 1024x600 and the window doesn't fit on the screen. Horizontally I miss about 15mm. When I drag the window and snap on the right side, I see part of it end under Ubuntu's launcher bar. Vertically about the same. When I grab the title bar and drag it above Ubuntu's status bar, I can see the bottom (although there's nothing but white there). I can increase the size of the window by dragging the corners, but I cannot shrink it.

Research direction
Investigate the main window setup in Piper's GTK code, likely in a file like `piper/window.py` or similar. Check the window's default size and minimum size constraints. Look for any hardcoded dimensions or layout issues that prevent the window from fitting on a 1024x600 screen. Consider using `gtk window set default size` or adjusting the window's geometry hints.
