[GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

[David Carlson]

Now we making some progress!

Since I do not use invoices and I am also living in the past on release
2.6.19 in Linux, my experience is not germane, but I will note that I see a
tendency in regular account register windows for the date fields (and the
three amount fields) to change width from week to week, tho they usually
get wider, and I have not identified a pattern other than the fact that it
happens in a VirtualBox machine that also seems to change it's size from
time to time when it is re-booted.
