My first post was not too clear. Yes, the column gets more width when the
window is wider, or when the whole window is used for one filelist. However it
is also the first column to lose width when the window is made narrower. It is
quite bad to lose the filename column altogether, when the window is made
smaller. This is not a solution.
I assume that 'manually' over-riding gtk's automatic control of column-widths
is possible, but tricky to implement, given that columns can be in any order,
or omitted altogether.
