size of Name and Location

size of Name and Location in dialog "Available Software Sites" is too small.

- Names are quite similar and can not be distinguished as they are too long and the tab "Name" is too small. please increase the size or better use a tree for grouping similar names/locations together 

- the same applies for the tab "Location".

- on the right side there is a empty tab which is a wast of space.

Increasing the size will help, but depending on platform and font, and names of sites, etc...we will never get a correct default value for all users.

Bug 212047 covers remembering the user's resize of the column width and distributing the extra space across the columns.  I think doing these things will accomplish what you want, so I'm marking this as a duplicate.  If you think that bug doesn't cover the problem, you can comment there or reopen this one.
