Thanks a lot for the patch.  It makes things work great.  I'm not really
concerned with the elongated nature now that I can actually use it.  The
only other issue I notice with it is that the left side does not leave a
border like the right side does; there is no gap between the left edge
of the widget and the first column of color boxes, but that's truly
cosmetic to me.  I thought I'd point it out since it just might be
another small glitch in wine.  Are you submitting this for CVS inclusion?
