There are two things. I agree that not
saving the size after the user changed it
was a bug. But another thing is when you
have to set the pixel size for every widget
because the widget can't reasonably
calculate some defaults itself - that's
a terminal brokenness of said widget and
I do not believe that Gtk has such problems.

I am pretty sure that not setting pixel
widths explicitely for column widths will
cause Gtk to set them automatically so that
the labels fit.

Well, if the total is constant at 640 and
you have to carve some pixels out for a new
widget, then you have to decide which
columns have to get narrower and how much.
So you do recalculate something.

As I already wrote above: I admit not saving
preferences was a bug. But not specifying
explicit default pixel width was a feature
(and was done intentionally) - I left it
out to Gtk to do that.

Can you be more explicit which stmts? There
are plenty of switch statements in balsa
but not all of them are relevant to
everything. :) (I'm at work, don't have
balsa sources here and way too much work
to dig into them right now).

And you call me being offtopic???? LOL...
