Oh, okay, on this I strongly agree - the KFM in kde 1.1.2 has the tree view
that resizes with toplevel window resizing, as does ksirc windows - which IMHO
is stupid, and I hate it.  I really really hate it.  I mean, I get the width I
want, then adjust the size of the window (I do this a lot), and I have to go
adjust the width of the column again.  It is pointless and I don't think such a
"zoom" feature is even useful.  It's especially horrible when you downsize the
toplevel window and your column becomes very skinny.

KMail in KDE 1.1.2 has a vewy nice memory of widths/heights, and I agree 100%
on this.  Window resizing adjusting the size of subportions is a BAD idea IMHO.
