Well one of the first things I did after opening the Download Manager was try to change the widths of the columns. The tree widget is quite annoying in this respect. There's bug 73948 - Replace trees with outliner which tracks all the tree widgets that we have in mozilla. With this download manager, I suspect we can add nother bug to its dependency list - Convert Download Manager to outliner (which I am inclined to file). Pratik.
