Testing needed for Layout fixes

Hey,

Nikolaj and I have recently been hard at work, trying to solve the
weird issues with resizing Amarok: The splitters (dock widget
boundaries) used to forget about their correct proportions. Now we
have both have tried to solve the problem, with very funny results:
First I made a patch that was very simple, but worked fine on my box.
However, it didn't work on anyone else's computers. Don't ask me why,
it's a mystery.

Now Nikolaj made a more complex patch to solve this issue. I've just
pushed it to Git master. On my box, this patch also works fine. On
Nikolaj's box, it doesn't work correctly in all cases. So apparently
something very very weird is going on here. Please help us test the
following:

1) Click the maximize button twice. Do the panes keep their
proportions correctly?
2) Resize Amarok manually. Again, do the proportions stay correct?
3) Kill Amarok (SIGKILL) while it's running. Restart. Layout still the
same as it was before?


Thanks for helping us :)
