GUI layout

Hi Manne,

> 2.  Reload icon on lyrics and Wikipedia cuts into the textbox when
> resizing (getting too narrow)
> 3.  Playlist current playing box is to tight around text, first and last
> letter in title gets cut by border.
> etc
> Some (all) these issues may be related to using a different system font

In general, we are happy to accept and encourage contributors to write
patches. It is generally not a problem to whip up a patch which fixes
glaring usability holes or improves the user interface. Of course, any
big overhauls would need to be first discussed on the mailing list.

Hope to see some patches from you soon!

Seb
