[GNC] Date column width

[David H]

Been like this for ages, just double click the "Date" header (and any other
header except the "Description" which auto fills to use the rest of the
available space) which will auto size including the drop down arrow for
that register only.  I've done this for all 6-7 registers I keep open.
There was a move to create a default template setting for registers a while
ago (1-2 years) but it turned into a bit of a nightmare with all the
scenarios involved and got dropped.

Cheers David H.
