Click on it. 

Yes, it should first appear with the entire message visible; that it doesn't 
is a bug in the Text widget.  Since the message doesn't need to be editable, 
the Label widget would have been adequate -- newlines in the value of the
Label widget's XtNlabel resource allow for multiple lines of text as the
label of the widget; and the dialog box then comes up in the correct size,
with the entire message visible.

I didn't see the original posting of these questions.
