Bug#650766: gconf-editor: inconsistent layout of context help

[Witold Baryluk]

Package: gconf-editor
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: normal

gconf-editor have three subwindows:
  left - tree with folder
  right - keys in selected folder
  bottom - context help (key documentation) for selected key


key documentation shows 4 lines:
   a) full key name
   b) owner of key
   c) short description
   d) long description

key documentation lacks key type information, but we will ignore this
  (it can be infered from the icon of key in key list)

However, I find that items b,c,d have vertical spacing beetween them,
and this spacing equal c-b, d-c, but is essentially pseudorandom
for each key. Every time i change different key, a labals and descriptions
jumps around, without sense. It sometimes even makes last description text
to be not fitting inside key documentation window - gconf-editor
is sometimes tring to make it automatically larger, but fails
to do this, and in such case I somehow also cannot change
this subwindow size bigger (or smaller).

gconf-editor should switch to other layout model (I guess this is
VBox), and use small constant vertical spacing beetween elements,
leaving only last entry (or adding one), which can automatically
fill whole remaining space (but requests only 0, if asked).

Thanks,
Witek
