I took the scientific route and downloaded the deb for Stretch
(amd64, my particular sauce) and unpacked it (dpkg -x
pavucontrol_3.0-3.1_amd64.deb _directory_) and indeed the default
geometry for the window is set in pavucontrol.glade at 500x400
(width/height) just as Erik claimed.
Therefore I declare his rant warranted.
;-)
(If ever rants are really warranted.)
Maybe this constrained default geometry could be considered a bug that
should be reported to the proper authorities.
