[GNC] Resizing columns

It should work regardless of if the window is maximized. The size of 
your screen in inches or millimeters doesn't matter, though pixel size 
does. I don't recall the minimum target but I vaguely recall some of the 
devs discussing upping it from 800x600 many many years ago. I'll hazard 
the minimum is currently 1024 wide, but that is a hazard of guess.

Always remember to drag the *right* handles of the column you want to 
resize. The 'left' handle is really the 'right' handle of the column to 
the left!

Do not resize the Description column until you have all of the others 
sized the way you want. Be sure to drag the right handle of that column 
'far' to the left. If it doesn't snap back enough to remove the scroll 
bar, drag it further.

Otherwise, report your screen dimensions and if you can, get a 'screen 
ruler' or otherwise estimate the pixel width of your desired window. 
Maybe there is indeed a bug at a certain width.

Regards,
Adrien
