Yes the searchpane gets resized when I do search in the translationdatabase 
and the translator is displayed

sorry forgot the mention that important info:
KBabel 1.1
SuSe 8.1 
KDE 3.1


When resizing the pane manualy (put it aside) it is very difficult (not 
impossible) to click the border and drag the pane back for usage. So basicly 
using your mouse and dragging teh border of the pane is a bit of a pain.
