Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Seen when upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04, and before.
When the "Replace the customised configuration file `foo'" window appears containing a unified diff of the customised and intended replacement versions of foo, the window is a fixed size. It can't be resized by the window manager or maximised. Consequently, I'm having to scroll around a diff, horizontally as well as vertically, when over 90% of my screen is available to help out.
In the end, I dug around on a console, found the intended replacement, and diffed them there, but other users may not know how to do that.
I think the diff-display window should be resizable and maximisable.

I don't think this is a duplicate of bug #15029. That wants a posher display or an external program. I just want some flags altered so the window manager will let me improve the existing view. This should be a lot quicker and simpler to do.
