Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Opening a saved .pgn game, with the Open menu option under "Game".
* What was the outcome of this action?
A Open File dialog was shown showing on the left side a "Places" list
with only 1 item visible and a scrollbar, and on the right side a file
list with only one item visible, and a scrollbar.
Underneath the select lists were the "Cancel" and "Open" buttons and a
whole lot of blank space.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The same Open File dialog but with both of the list maximized in the
available window size.
Though it strikes me as a problem with GtkFileOpenDialog rather than
glchess itself, other GNOME and GTK applications do not show this
behaviour.
