You can calculate the width of a string in GTK1.2 with
gdk_string_width().

gtk_clist_set_column_width(list, FRIEND_COL_USERNAME, 
                           gdk_string_width(GTK_WIDGET(list)->style->font, 
                                            "aaaaaaaaaaaaa"));

The gtk_widget_* calls are documented in the documentation under
"GtkWidget", of course.  :)

(You should almost never use gtk_widget_set_usize(), btw, because you
don't want to force your sizes on your user; GTK is pretty good about
this normally, and setting the usize undermines that.)
