bug#44428: Graphical Installer window clipping on "small" displays

Hello Guix,

When running the graphical installer on my Asus EeePC, many of the
windows get "clipped", i.e. content flows over the edge of the display.
Pictures are attached.  Some critical text and a few of the action
buttons disappear.

I manage to get through the installation, but maybe only because I've
done this so many times and am familiar with the process :), but I fear
someone new to Guix might be less forgiving.

The native resolution of the display is 1024x600.  In one of the ttys I
see:

  root@gnu ~# printf "%dx%d\n" $COLUMNS $LINES
  128x37

but the graphical installer window appears to display at about 102x31.

I can understand if this is not a configuration that we need to
"support", but was hoping that there might be something that could bedone to 
help.
These pictures were taken using the 1.1.0 release installer, but an
installer I created for i686 at commit 8a7bbc35 seems to behave the
same.
