[GNC] register description field width

[Kevin T]

I have found how to make the fonts large enough to read through inspection of the mailing list history.  it is now 14pt.
This is great but now the gnucash window has to be almost, 80% of my screen width.  70% of that width is due to the width of the description field.   through the mailing lists I have found that double clicking the vertical bars between the fields will adjust them to the width of the data.  It works for all but the description field.  This field behaves as if there is an extra 200 spaces attached to the end of each entry.  Trying to pull the right hand vertical bar will move the header, temporarily, but the field width remains the same.
Is there some way to hard code, force, change the width of the description field?
