New Database druid dialog layout appaling

Bug Description

Using 2.0.2-6.1ubuntu1 on Dapper.
After go through creating a database, one is eventually presented with a dialog with the heading: "New Database created".

The layout looks like there should be a blue background with a white text box and black text in that. The white box is placed in the lower right hand corner, leaving an L-shaped blue bar, its a fairly standard web/presentation layout. But the dialog is narrow enough that the text is across the blue bar and the white box - which looks awful.

The box can be stretched to make the text readable.
A simple fix would be to make the box larger, or take into account the text size when choosing the dialogs size (considering that system fonts may vary).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest updates or the Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response Sebastian.

I have checked this with Gutsy - Gaby 2.0.2-7.1ubuntu2 and see exactly the same issue.

The dialog has plenty of room on screen but it only occupies a portion of the screen. My resolution (now and before) is 1280x1024.
I am using the standard Gnome desktop.

I have attached a screenshot of the current state to illustrate what I mean.

Please follow the steps to reproduce:

Start gaby.
Only do this if you have not run gaby before:
* "First minute in gaby"->Next->"Gaby Design"->Next->"Gaby Design II"->Next->"So Where"->Next->"The Gaby Database Builder"->"First minute Over"

Always:
* Go to gaby main window. Select File menu->Databases->Create a new one

* "Creating a new database"->Next->"Name and Purpose"->fill in fields->Next->"Fields"->(add a couple of fields - ID, Name, Completed->"Appearance"->(leave defaults)->Next->"New database created" (still a mess).

Expected
Dialog laid out without text crossing over shaded area unreadably.

Actual
Text crossing over shaded area unreadably.

Seems to me that the latest gaby in jaunty does not actually include this wizard at all. Setting this to invalid as it may no longer be relevant.
