[GNC] Find Invoice display issue

[Mike Alexander]

3.7 is better, but it's still not right.  The search results window now 
consists of two equal sized panes.  The top pane is completely blank and 
the bottom pane contains the search results.  If the window is resized 
the two panes still occupy half the window each and the boundary between 
them is not movable.

This is related to https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796945.  The 
problem is described in comment 4 which I added to that bug when I 
reopened it last January.

I think the problem is that the same window definition is used to 
specify the search criteria and to display the search results.  In the 
first case the top pane wants to be resizable to show more search 
criteria and in the latter case the bottom pane wants to be resizable to 
show more results.  When this bug was fixed about a year ago the top 
pane was made resizable and the bottom pane was made fixed size.  With 
the recent change both are resizable, which is better, but still not 
good.  I suspect the solution is to use a different window definition 
for the two purposes.

I think that the find results window is also parented in such a way that 
it can't be put behind the main window.  This is also an issue although 
not really related to this bug.
