Do you want to do some sort of write up of your proposals here:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Preferences_Improvements

[Obviously the "redesign"  mentioned there in response to the
previous overflow problem has already been addressed.]

Was the French user somehow managing to drag the dialog beyond
800px? And the use case is that the dialogue is simply too small at
very large resolutions?

I'd be interested in trying the code for the keyboard panel columns
if it gets rid of that horizontal scrollbar on Windows (which you
tend not to get on Linux because of smaller screen resolution/larger
fonts). Does the fix prevent "Key combination" being truncated?
