GNOME Dictionary Applet window resizable

[Lars Tobias Børsting <lars tobias borsting ntnu no>]

Hi,

The dictionary applet is probably the most useful applet on my
gnome-panel. I've used it for a couple of years, and I find it is vital
desktop inventory. Many thanks to you for this program!

I just upgraded from GNOME 2.12. to 2.14, and along with it the
gnome-utils package was upgraded to 2.14.0. I was actually quite happy
with the previous definitions window and its features. Nevertheless, the
new definitions window, using the GtkAlignedWindow code, seems like a
nice UI upgrade.

I have a few issues with the new definitions window, though. Most
importantly; it's not resizable. When looking up a word, the results
appear in a tiny text window with scrollbars and large clear, print and
save buttons. The only text that fits in the window is the headline of
the definition, and I must scroll both vertically and horizontally to
read the definition. I think it's good practice to make all windows
containing text resizable. It would also be great if it automatically
resized the window to fit the text, up until a maximum allowed size, of
course.

Also, would it be desirable to add a preferences option to not show the
large action buttons on the bottom of the window?

What do you think of my thoughts?
