Yes, but when you have that many pixels on a small screen, like
a notebook, then you have to use bigger fonts to be able to read..
(i seem to remember you having that problem)
Which means that most of the point of having high res. goes away
when columns end up way out of the file pane.

I do not want the "pane divider" to be wider than a maximum of
20 pixels, and that is with the scrollbar.

It is a lot harder to use those features with more info off
the screen.

Yes, but i do not think gcmd would get more users with more
info off the screen.
