I could be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain you don't have to 'stumble'
on that 'trick' or any other as it is a designed feature. It should be
documented in Help or the Guide. There is a section devoted to resizing
columns.
There was some work done on setting widths for all 'similar' registers,
but I think it was reverted due to bugs. I think it is still currently
available for Bills/Invoices, however. (by 'similar' registers, I mean
by main GnuCash type, thus, you could set all 'asset' registers with
certain particular column widths, and those widths could be different
for 'liability', 'equity', 'income' or 'expense' registers)

Thanks, David. Somehow I never stumbled across the double-click trick.
It resizes to the smaller of the header text or the column contents, so
it still makes "Tot Withdrawal" unnecessarily wide, and for some reason
on Description it pushes the right-most parts out of the window,
introducing a horizontal scroll bar. I think it must assume the window
is full screen instead of using the actual window size. But it reduces
it to only a couple of columns I need to manually resize, so it's an
improvement.
Now if only it would set all registers at once (at least as an option)
and not change them after I set them. Hey, I can dream.
