Yes, I can resize it, but each time that I open a new window, the 
owner column gets expanded again to see login name and the full name. 
(It is not the case as long as I open folders in the current window.)

Maybe making nautilus give the columns of a new window the same width 
of the last closed window could be another solution. However, 
introducing an option to choose the format of the owner column 
(option 1: login name; option 2: full name; option 3: login name and 
full name) would be more straightforward.

Thanks for your reply.
