before: 2 windows: "*Summary*" (list of articles in the group) - about 20% of the frame and *Article* (the content of the current message) - about 80% of the frame. when I visit the article written by someone in the db, the *Article* window is split into two windows: *Article* and *BBDB*. v2 split it into 5 lines for *BBDB* and the rest for *Article*. v3 split it into 1/2 (i.e., 40% of the frame) for *BBDB* and 1/2 (i.e., 40% of the frame) for *Article*. I want the *BBDB* window to be as small as possible so that the frame real estate is not wasted. > Are you using multiple *BBDB* windows? no. > Is the *Article* window the window you want to split or do you want to > split a different window?

Whatever the original design was, I did _not_ get the horizontal split reliably with the original code. -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) X 11.0.11004000 http://ffii.org http://dhimmi.com http://www.memritv.org http://pmw.org.il http://iris.org.il http://openvotingconsortium.org The Truth does not have to look plausible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
