Well, it was announced that the new GUI will hang some time in tlcritical,

For those in need, the old GUI is still in tlmgr gui-old (or old-gui)

It is *really* to high for you netbook, what resolution does it have?
I tried to minimize the height since also my notebook is not really
big in that one, but yours seems to be much smaller.

I will try ... adding overall scrollbars is unfortunately a pain, I 
will see what I can do.

Best wishes
