37da7b7: Some Layout fixed to 3dRendering for different font sizes.

  Add glue between the gears view and the rest to make sure that
  the rest butts up against GearsView. Update the Preferred
  and Max size so that the spacing is appropriate. Make the window
  width smaller and allow the views to expand it.

  The ColumnListViews are still not set to respect different font
  sizes but overall it works better at smaller font sizes.

Great work here on these changes John.

The goal is to have the 3D Rendering preflet changed into more of an about box.

John's work so far:
http://pub.haikufire.com/3drender.png

The final change would be to move the information in the information tab above
the tab view in the following format:

<bold>Render name</bold>
GL Version
Vendor Name
GLU 1.3, Glut 5

<tabs>


An example would be:

Software rasterizer for X86/MMX/SSE2  <this line bold>
2.1 Mesa 8.1-devel (git-2402c0)
Mesa Project
GLU 1.3, Glut API 5

<tabs>

This way the dialog would fit as an about box and we could stick it anywhere.

As per Axels comments, i'm fine removing it from the Preferences menu. However I would hate to completely remove it from the default image as it provides *really* valuable troubleshooting information. (especially while I work this Gallium3D stuff
and more opengl add-ons come into the picture)

Maybe we could rename the app to "GLInfo" and just make it a 'launch from the command line if you need it app'? That would make it compare to a graphical glxinfo
on Linux, and get it out of the direct user view.
