better ugly than bumping up the window size imho.

However I feel this is putting a band-aid on the underlying problem; why in the
world do these splash pages have SO MUCH text? I think it would be much better
to put a really short summary with a "show me more info" button that displays a
new window with a scrolling text field, and a "show me the website" for a
full-length feature list.
I don't know if this could even be considered, but I, personally, could cut the
width and height of that text by half just by removing some irrelevant bits
(considering rhythmbox integration), rephrasing, and, generally, just sticking
to a "very important features of this music store" thing instead of "add as
much bullet points as possible to make it look like there are more actual
reasons to do business with us".

I feel I may be unclear in the way I tried to express my thoughts, don't be
mistaken I am not angry at magnatune/jamendo, I just feel that the "executive
propaganda" could be toned down a bit by having the text simplified a LOT.

And why are the logos so gigantic? The magnatune logo eats 1/3 of the width and
the jamendo logo uses ½ of the height! o_o
