On my cramped laptop, I usually maximize Balsa, and recently I've noticed "geometry 
creep": the mailbox list on the left and the message list above the message preview 
grow by a few pixels from time to time.

Ha!  On 22 June 2016, I submitted a patch for the opposite effect, i.e. these 
two areas were /shrinking/ after each re-start of Balsa.  The patch (using an 
idle callback) fixed the issue for me.  However, I do not use Balsa in 
maximised window mode.  Or the idle callback kicks in too fast.

Balsa saves the geometry at the end of each session, and restores it at the 
start of a new one, but then Gtk sometimes changes it a couple of times at 
startup--I can't figure out why or how, nor when it started.

I also never found out why this behaviour occurs...

Waiting for a second before restoring the geometry seems to avoid the problem, 
but of course leads to a visible adjustment immediately after the main window 
appears. To my mind it's a reasonable price to pay for a stable geometry, but 
that's a personal evaluation.

The fix has been pushed to the master branch, so as always all feedback is 
welcome!

I closed and re-opened Balsa several times using the latest git version, and 
the geometry is kept as it should be...  So your patch works for me!

Cheers,
Albrecht.
