It's a little different - things have diverged over time IIRC. In trying
to make it better I think we've added confusion.

Possibly, in fact there is meant to be an automatic horizontal
scrollbar, which I think isn't being triggered now because of the size
change. A sufficiently long description should trigger it. I haven't
looked yet.

Nope, I've got his mail in my inbox still. My first set of goals is
usability - cause that's what tends to generate 1000's of emails.

The occasional thing being uninstalled or reinstalled by mistake is
trivial by comparison.
