How to resize a window when the bottom right is not visible?

I am trying to change the default pdf viewer on my Kile Latex frontend. When I reach Settings ▸ Configure - Kile ▸ Tools ▸ Build ▸ ViewPDF I am able to make the appropriate change.

Unfortunately, in the pop-up window for Configure - Kile, I am not able to see the bottom right corner. A right angle with an arrow does appear near the top left corner. But I am not able to resize the window using it. Consequently I am not able to save the changes, rendering the entire operation pointless.

The only option available on the top bar of the pop-up window is to close it. There's no minimize or restore option available.

EDIT: I am using Ubuntu 11.10, with Virtual Box (Full screen mode) along with gnome (version 3.2.1). I dislike Unity. But I guess my current predicament is because I have gotten rid of Unity.

The answer to the problem of clicking OK & Cancel buttons hidden at the bottom of an over-sized windows is Alt + F7. After pressing that, using the arrows keys, windows which are not maximized, can be moved (at least partially) beyond the upper bound of the desktop screen. Obviously, when moved sufficiently upwards, a non-maximized sub-window, will present its lower-most buttons.
