Bug#849119: Known for a long time, workaround available

[Michael Hanke]

For the benefit of people reading this:

The problem has been reported upstream repeatedly:

https://www.playonlinux.com/de/issue-5043.html
https://www.playonlinux.com/en/issue-4940.html

The latter of those is over two years old. Doesn't look as if anyone
cares enough.

I have a 2560x1440 laptop screen and playonlinux is unusable as shipped
by Debian. The first report linked above points to a workaround:

--- /usr/share/playonlinux/python/lib/Variables.py	2016-04-09 16:03:37.000000000 +0200

         windows_add_size = 0
         windows_add_playonmac = 0
     else:
-        windows_add_size = 25
+        windows_add_size = 100
         windows_add_playonmac = 0
         
     widget_borders = wx.RAISED_BORDER

I can confirm that this resolves the issue with my screen size, at least
to the degree that the buttons become visible again and any
functionality is available at all.

Sure thing that this isn't a general solution, but better than nothing.
