Thanks again.
I have tried all four layouts and they all limit the minimum width to 
1175 pix as measured with a print screen.
My system:
Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64, kernel 2.6.32-25-generic
libqt 4 4.6.2
Python 2.6.5
PyQt 4.7.2
QScintilla2 2.4.3-0
Eric 4.4.9
All standard apt-get installs and latest update

Same problem on my Asus eee also with Ubuntu 10.04 but of course the 
Intel version.

The windows (Oracle VirtualBox/Windows XP) version gives the same 
problem be it with 1120 as min size and version 4.4.9 with PyQt 4.7.0.

Most probably I am overlooking some trivial option but I haven't the 
faintest idea where to look.
Cheers,
Janwillem
