Okay, so basically:
* Despite being the only acceptable IM app for GNOME, Gaim isn't a GNOME
app, and therefore doesn't have to abide by GNOME's rules.
* GNOME's got it all wrong, people should be able to size a window to
any size they want. It's the same with Windows, Mac and KDE, so they
must
So are you saying that all applications should have windows that can be
sized down so small that they are not identifiable or widgets (and
therefore features) are hidden from view, and reveal other cosmetic
bugs; or are you saying that Gaim is an exception to the desktop
standard that windows
If a user makes a decision to resize a window such that part of a menu
is hidden, why should I, the developer, prevent him? Who am I to say
that the Help menu _must_ be seen? Perhaps that user never uses the
menu, and so does not see any loss. I know I don't use the Help menu on
any application
I'm in agreement with Luke here. My buddy list is currently not wide
enough to display all of Help, but I don't care. I want it that size.
If I were using the German translation, I'd probably cut off half the
menu. Who cares?
I think we'd all agree that sizing the window so that you can't see any
Merely a consistency issue. This could also cause small usability
problems because users can size down the window until the window is no
longer identifiable.
So, for example, if they accidentally size it so small it looks like a
piece of rice they will click and click on the window's taskbar
in gaim 1.x, we get bug reports that are exactly the opposite: that you
cannot resize the window arbitrarily small, for example, a buddy list
narrower than the width of the menu (which is apparently quite long if
you have a german locale)
