Why are the rows hard-set to 80 columns? Is there a way to change this value, or better yet, have it auto-fill to the width of the window?

I don't use Deft, so YMMV, but it sounds like you're looking for visual-line-mode.

Interactively:

  M-x visual-line-mode
Or in your .emacs:

  (add-hook 'deft-mode-hook 'enable-visual-line-mode)
You'll probably need to set deft-line-width to some number that's larger than the most columns you ever have in a frame, because from a quick glance it looks like Deft has some magic of its own.
