Size of the window under linux

There are two points that are getting me in trouble with Sskqt (that actually is the only client Im using since long).

One is about characters (Im staying in Cyrillic written countries, and looking for music in this languaje it would be easier). But Im realising that only in windows is this feature dispo, not in linux (im in kubuntu 14.04). I dont mind for chating, as i dont use. But for searching. Because of this, im getting back to nicotine-subversion (only for "this" sort of searches...) Is there any improvement that im losing in this respect?..

But something I dont figure out how to manage and even if it is possible to "live with", its very uncomfortable, is the fact that I cant resize the window, under some dimension that is bigger than my screen, so, Im using alt+left-button to move constantly the window to be able to reach the searchs or the find function (down), the tabs (up) or if i want to see the queue info to right... so... its a bit annoying...

Is there a way to resize? (please dont tell me dragging the borders... believe me doesnt works till the point i would need)...

Thanks for the work.
