Steps to reproduce:

1: Use a 1366x768 or lower resolution display

2: Open wireshark gui

3: Click on "Capture Options" in first column

Observed results:

1: Bottom of window is cut off and unable to see or access those options with
mouse.

2: Window cannot be resized smaller than about 761x756 px width*height (not
including titlebar).

3: Workarounds involve using the keyboard and comparing with a screenshot, or
enabling desktop panning.

Expected results:

Capture Options window should be able to be resized even smaller and show
scrollbars and/or redesigned to accommodate lower resolution displays.
