My suggestion would be to forcibly equalize the windows.  Then, even
if we cannot do that exactly (e.g., because the number of pixels is
odd), the difference is a single pixel, and that _can_ be handled by
adding the pixel to the divider.  By contrast, a divider that is many
pixels wider than normal will look odd if not buggy.

I fail to see why users of Follow mode won't agree to having
equal-width windows.  After all, this mode is supposed to create an
illusion of one long window, so its parts should have the same width,
IMO.  However, I don't use the mode, so perhaps I'm missing something.
