Re: [PATCH] gui: Make AGGREGATE dialog initially show all of the right pane.

[John Darrington]

Perhaps ideally something more reliable than a hardcoded 200pixels would be 
better Since we dont know if it'll be enough if the user has a large font.

However, it is an improvement on my machine, and will probably also be an
improvement in the majority of users' machines.

     The AGGREGATE dialog initially had a very narrow left pane, so
     commit 2e6cffa44ef5 "Aggregate dialog: Initialize HPane widget width
     on opening" added a callback function to adjust the position of the
     divider between the panes to half the window's width.  But this
     happens after the window has been laid out, which means that unless
     the window is very wide to begin with, it will cause part of the
     right pane to disappear.
     
     I was able to get more consistently good results by forcing a minimum
     width for the left pane with a width_request, and making the right
     pane shrinkable below the minimum size needed to show all of it.  A
     final tweak was to make the left pane automatically grow with the
     window.
     
     If you've already used the Aggregate dialog then your preferences for
     the window size have been saved, so for testing this it is best to
     remove $HOME/.config/psppire before each experiment.
     
     Bug #31126.
