Yes, that's what I'm thinking, this would not be intuitive to mom and pop, unless you put an explanatory label above the listview; but I can't even come up with a simple explanation that could go in that label. Besides, double-clicking all over the place would be hellish.

An alternative could be that 1 click = edit the cell, right-click = select the row and show a popup menu allowing to delete it, but again this would not be intuitive.

I'm starting to think this might be overengineering a solution to a simple problem. Looking back at your original bug description:

> Currently the window gets expanded instead of scrolled.
Then let's just put it in a scrollable area? Note that, in that case, we definitely should remember the window size if the user changes it. I hate apps that force me to resize stuff manually everytime. I implemented that in the main window, but hadn't yet seen a need to do it in the Edit recipe window... (note that for View recipe, that is bug #644485 instead)

> Horizontally layed Widgets don't match heights.
I think this is normal. All apps look like that, I think. It's not like a 2 px height difference is a big deal :)
