I left Gaim running for awhile today and returned to my system to find the previously minimized buddy list window restored and taking up the whole window. I hit "minimize" so I could size it back down, but was never able to get any handles to do so. I tried several other things and was not able to get handles to resize this window. I am still able to size an IM window but cannot change the size of the buddy list. How can I do this?

Updated to Pidgin last week in accordance with a computer upgrade. Having the same problem with not being able to resize my buddy list horizontally (am able to resize vertically without problems).
Thanks for any help.

I am also very interested in loosing all that wasted indentation space. I tried writing the suggested settings to my ~/.gtkrc file, but it does nothing. Is that not the correct file I need to modify?

Hi all,
Is there any way to reduce the indention of contacts in the Buddy List?
Thanks!
Not really, but see the example gtkrc-2.0 file at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gtkrc-2.0 specificly the part that says:

Thanks Tim, EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Looks like there are quite a few configurable options with gtkrc.
Would like to see more such features configurable with a GUI interface in the future.
Thanks again! : )
great but i'm terribly new to gtk...
which gtkrc file should i add this to?
thanks,

No, it is the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file like the FAQ says.
Ah, right. Thanks, works like a charm now :)
