I have yet to experience a single problem since I downloaded Deskport a few weeks ago. I really use it at least six times a day (especially the TV Guide, Movie Fone, and USA Today). I really don't see a need to resize the menu because you can close it out nicely to the system tray. Whenever I want to use it, I just click and it opens. I think it's a really useful tool, and it saves me a lot of time looking up stuff.

*Note to jonu:
Whenever I want to exit it, I right click the icon and the "Exit" option closes it out. It can easily be reopened by going to Deskport via the start menu. See if that works for you too.
