Please do that.

The selection list gets 25% of the dialog space and it looks ok over here. 
Could you send a screen shot?

The order of the panels is not fixed. It depends on where you drop the 
dockwindows. All window sizes are managed by Qt. Normally every window should 
have a size handle like the splitters have. By sliding this to the side or up 
and down you can resize the dockwindows.

.e3p is the project file. This doesn't store the settings. These can be found 
in the .qt directory in your home directory or in the registry (on win32).
