(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #7)
"...-use an arbitrary (larger) initial size, e.g. based on font width, without
looking at the entries at all

I do not like either of the solutions."

1: "Either:... "one or the other of two"
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/either?s=t

You listed three items. I too do not like either of the first two, while the
third almost perfectly describes the ideal....

2: The third item makes much more sense than the already arbitrary initial
window size. Basing the size on font size is how it should already be done. The
arbitrary current sizing could work by simply converting its design px sizes to
the em values of those sizes using the default font size, so that those needing
larger fonts automatically get a larger window *and* pane sizes that maintain
the designer's proportions.

Px sizing is an abomination that works only for those with youthful eyes and
those who don't mind straining to see what they need to see, and then only if
the designer wisely employs empathy for those whose vision is less than
perfect.

"When the user is able to resize the
splitter, the dialog should simply remember the width for future invokations."

This should already be the case too, but it's less critical that intelligent
initial size. A too small initial size means both the slider needs to be moved
and the window needs to be bigger.
