The layout of the main gworldclock window resizes/goes haywire when you
remove a timezone.

Unexpected bug. Always seemed to work fine for me.
Hopefully won't be too troublesome to debug.

Hi Anand,

gworldclock seems to be behaving as expected right now (1.4.4-3) with
respect to deleting timezones.  No haywires.  Either I fixed it between
1.3 and 1.4 without realising, or the bug was in gtk not gworldclock and
is now fixed.

Can you confirm you're happy with the way zones are deleted, and I'll
close this bug.

Thanks,

Drew

I think I see this bug now.  When removing a time zone, the window
resizes such that the time display gets hidden behind the scroll bars
(needs scrolling or manual resizing to see it).

Probably related to bug #322574.  Unfortunately experiments in 1.4.5
have not yet found the happy solution.
