Thanks.
I only had the "Name" column enabled so I added the "Total" column, i scrolled 
to the right as far as possible and tried to make the "Name" column smaller by 
dragging it to the left but i kept springing back to full width, it would not 
stick at at anything other than full width.
I have a similar issue with columns on the message window that do not hold 
their configured width.  I added a column, positioned it on the right and 
everytime i loaded Kontact, the column moved to the left so i could hardly see 
any messages. I just removed the column.
