Subject: xfce4-utils: prevent window resize on startup
Package: xfce4-utils
Version: 4.4.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

the following patch to xfce4-help/info.c sizes the help window to the
maximum horizontal width that fits all of the text boxes (590 pixels).
this is currently done with -1 (automatic), and the window ends up
resizing a couple times when the application starts up.  this is a
disorienting and undesirable effect for the user.  however, it is minor
and an easy fix.
