Library window doesn't stay expanded

Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Every time I start Rhythmbox it loads the library and the "Browse" window is small (you can only see 3 listings in the Artist section without scrolling down, for example). So I use the resizing bar. But then when I shut down Rhythmbox, it goes back to the way it was when I start it next time. Also, sometimes when I minimize Rhythmbox to the tray and reopen it, it's back to the small window size again.

I'm pretty sure this is a bug because it didn't used to do this. I don't think it's intentional.

here's another, the way I "want" it to be. I change it to look like this, but then if I minimize to tray or close the application, it goes back to being small again.

Thanks for your report, It works fine for me, if i resize the browse window pane and then re start rhythmbox it remember the size. May you test it with another user and see if it works? Also may you obtain a debug log? you can do it with the following command: rhythmbox --debug &>rhythmbox-debug.txt and attach it to the report?. thanks.

Yes, I made a new user and didn't have the problem any more. So how do I get it to work with my "real" user?

Probably you need to delete the gconf keys and the config located at ~/.gnome2/, thanks!.
