Now with planner you can't view when a resource isn't at work from Mon
to Fri, with my patch when a task is assigned to John and John is in
holiday for a week it's task(s) for this week will be "quoted" up and down
with a "not work" gray band.

To draw "not work" band I need much more vertical space beetween tasks.

I see the piece of code that you tell me but changing in this place we
loose alignement task-description <=> graphical view.
There is a way to change the spacing into the task-descr columns,
the graphical part inherits automatically the new height with the 
gtk_tree_view_column_cell_get_size ?
