Bug#662681: Does not allow resize or maximize

[Mattthew Gabeler-Lee]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.8.3-7
Followup-For: Bug #662681

An additional variation of the same problem:

It appears (just going on observed behavior here, code may be doing
something different) that the fixed size is constructed as a percentage of
your screen size.  This means (for me) that on a widescreen monitor, the
window is "weirdly" wide, causing related UI elements to be placed
unnecessarily far apart, hampering usability.  See for example this
screenshot of the keyboard shortcuts customization window:
