Comment 49 for bug 460483

@Farliec:

That is a strange bug. For some reason gtk_widget_hide is messing with the dimensions of the gtk_paned widget used to divide evolution into the accounts list and everything else. I also end up with the same behavior if I maximize evolution, resize the accounts list, and then unmaximize and remaximize again. My guess is there is something unconnected to the indicator plugin that's causing the gtk_paned widget to interact badly with certain window operations.

Nevertheless, I think I've got a workaround which fixes this resize problem when using the indicator menu. (It does not address the deeper issue of why maximizing and unmaximizing also resets the accounts list width.) Whats more, I've taken this opportunity to follow Wagner's suggestion and overhaul my version names.
