[GNC] Problems moving vertical lines between columns on registers

[David Carlson]

James,

Keep in mind that in the register view the description column is a special
case that essentially defaults to use all the space that is not explicitly
given to other columns.

This means setting the other widths first, then dragging the right edge of
the description column title box leftward and letting it snap back until
there is no horizontal scrollbar at the bottom.

Of course, this can get awkward for users that run the program on computers
with different display and font settings.  Since those settings are defined
as user settings, different computers normally each keep their own
settings, but if one accesses the program remotely via ssh, for example, it
can still get very interesting.
