Solved: How to make a gtktreeview column flexible?

[Till Harbaum / Lists <lists harbaum org>]

Hi,

in have solved this problem. Here's the answer for reference:

Instead of using gtk_tree_view_insert_column_with_attributes to insert
a column, one might use seperate calls to  gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes
and gtk_tree_view_insert_column as this give us an explicit reference to
the column. Thus one can use gtk_tree_view_column_set_expand(TRUE)
on that column and voila ... the column scales nicely with the window width.
