Hi!
Well, working on a Win2k Advanced Server with 800x600 resolution is
interesting ;-) Are you using some kind of remote desktop or are you
really running a monitor with that resolution?
I thought for some time that it might be a problem with the current
preferences dialog on small displays (but didn't had the time to check).
I don't think you can do much about it, unless you will wait for a new
release that'll fix this (again). As the current 0.10.9 release is
almost "out of the door", you might have to wait for 0.10.10 (or
whatever the next release version will be) where I hopefully find some
time to fix this (create another page and move some preference settings
there, so page will become smaller).
This should be the only prefs page of that huge size. Could you check if
the other pages fit on your screen, so nothing is forgotten.
I really don't have a clue about chinese characters, sorry. As we are
using the GTK toolkit for this purpose, you might ask that team, if they
know about that problem and maybe going to fix this. Have a look at:
http://www.gtk.org for mailing lists and alike.

P.S: if you are doing screenshots, use some compressing formats like jpg
or png, as I had to dig deep on my harddisk for an unrar...
