I really think we should design the layout for a screen resolution of 
800x600. While 1024x768 is already more or less common I don't think we can 
rely on it. There are still too many people with 15" monitors (me included).

We should talk about the icon placement in the toolbar. Such destructive 
things like a resign button shouldn't be near anything, even less directly 
beside the undo button, which is probably used rather frequently. The same 
goes for Decline. However, I do realise that the order is logical right 
now. But the above is a quite strong design rule.
