Yeah, I looked at all of them. I decided not to change dialogs that are
not related to a SQL type (IOW, replication ones and pgAgent ones). They
seem to work on a 800x600 screen.

Should apply to dlgTable too.

It doesn't crash on my laptop (I tried with information_schema and
pg_catalog on a PostgreSQL HEAD).

Yeah, two sizes:

* small one: 220,250
* big one: 270,250

But it seems I forgot dlgServer and dlgTable. Just fixed dlgServer.
Working on dlgTable right now.

(once again, I didn't touch replication dialogs and pgAgent dialogs)
