[gaim-migrate @ 15121] part of sf patch #1362550, from Peter McCurdy "Make file transfer window resizable (fixes bug #1193556)" Now when toggling the expander the Window size remains the same and the gtktreeview (or whatever it is) expands/contracts. I don't really know which way is better... but this is how the plugins dialog behaves, so I figured it'd be ok. committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
