It's nice that the width of the textareas is now configurable, so +1 for
that by reading and testing, but I've got some further thoughts:

- it would be nice, if it's possible to set this on a per field base and
not generally for all text areas
- the height is afaik fixed too, so perhaps we should make another
option for changing the height
- in the user settings module we have that "max title length" setting,
what I think is a related setting, we should think about making it a
userTS option, too. I don't really like having options with similarities
in different places - what do you think?
- as a future vision: using chrome it's possible to resize the text
areas with simply dragging them - perhaps we can have something like
that based on JS for all browsers?

Regards,

Susanne
