Don't know if this can be classified as a bug or a
feature request, but, I think that the way opentracker
handles windows resizing isn't that great.

Steps to reproduce:

- Open an opentracker window with some files in it
- Set the view mode to "icon".
- Shrink the window so that you can't see all icons at
once.
- The vertical (or horizontal, it's the same) scrollbar
should be active now: scroll the view all down, so that
you can see the bottom icons.
- Now grow the window.

You'll be left with an empty space (without icons) at
the bottom of the window, with the scrollbar still
active, while the sane behaviour would be to let the
icons follow the right bottom part of the window.

Hope it was clear enough.

    BTW, the bug happens also in listview mode:

    here's a small clip which shows it:

    Nice video :-)
    I've fixed this in ContainerWindow 1.37 - it's not perfect,
    as when you shrink the window again, the scroll offset stays
    the same (instead of reapproaching where it was before
    resizing the window), but I think it's definitely better
    than before.

    That's much better now, thank you !
