[Nautilus-list] Maximum Columns Widths

[Martin Wehner <mwehner tfh-berlin de>]

Hi again,

in the list view there's a limit on the columns widths, which is very
inconvenient when dealing with long filenames (see Bug 45110). As I
don't see a point in having limits on the widths (at least filename,
type & emblems might have arbitrary long content), I propose the
following patch.
It removes the maximum width attribute from all columns except the
non-resizable icon column, and sets a consistent minimum (20) on all of
them.
Unfortunatly this triggers another bug: The horizontal scrollbar isn't
drawn/updated when the columns are resized beyond the width of the
window (This can be triggered without this patch though and works on
window resize).
If someone could give me a hint about the scrollbar handling in this
widget (and how to fix it), I would be a happy hacker.

Martin
