Dave,
What are you double-clicking to expand the size column? I downgraded libqt4 and I still get the same behavior. The problem is there is no way to grab the "right" side of the 'size' column. I tried the grab the left edge, move it to the right until you get the horizontal scroll, then I double-clicked everything from the horizontal scroll to the joint between the size "Installed|Size" column, the size column heading, body, etc. and the size column stays unreadable:
If all the text is too long for the window you can drag the window edge to the left and hide the left panel.

Even if you can somehow double-click it, you shouldn't have to stand on one leg and wiggle your nose to get the column to expand. You should be able to resize the the column by grabbing the right edge and pulling to the right to fill empty space.
I think I see where the confusion is. In ms windows if you grab the right side of the last column header you can drag it and create another blank column. I've just explored various qt4 listview type widgets and if you double click on the right border of the rightmost column header it can actually shrink to the point where you have whatever is underneath the columns showing. If you have libqt4-devel-doc and the data package installed you will find the examples at /usr/lib64/qt4/ and you can play with the various widgets and observe their actual behavior. The widget used in the factory yast2-qt-pkg doesn't respond to the mouse pointer over the right side of the right hand column header but the right hand column has infinite size and if it's contents extend too far right then the horizontal scroll bar appears. One thing you can no longer do is make the size column smaller than it's contents but who would really want to do that? I suspect that this is a feature of the qt4 widget used for the package list and if you file a bug it would have to be upstream http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/ . IMHO I think that the size column behavior is fine and when for instance I want to view all the columns then I drag the left of the size column until the horizontal scroll bar disappears. Maybe if the description column cells were able to display double rows of text it would enable everything to be visible at all times. Regards Dave P
Yes, I agree, this issue isn't a showstopper by any stretch of the imagination, but it is just disappointing not to be able to see the complete size of the packages in yast. I just tried your solution again with the latest kde4.2.90 and if I resize the "Installed (Available)" column until the "Size" column is partially covered and then put the pointer over the border between "Installed (Available)" and "Size" <you get the double arrow> and double- click, then the "Installed (Available)" column is expanded to show all contents, but the size column stays woefully unreadable :-(

There is no question about it, this is a "size" column issue. All other columns behave properly, but not the size column. Try this: Move the size column in between the "Summary" and "Installed (Available)" columns by just left-click (and hold) and dragging the column header. Now try and put the pointer between the "Size" and "Installed (Available)" column to get a double-arrow cursor ... You can't. Now take and put the pointer on the right of any other column (including the "Installed (Available)" column which is now the rightmost column). You get the double-arrow and can resize every other column except the "size column".
Something is wrong with that picture...
The plot thickens, I cannot get my size column to look like yours i.e. my package sizes are always displayed clearly without the little dots that indicate hidden text. As I explained before my size column is infinite in size but I see that yours isn't. It surely is a bug.
