	When I show the clist, it's empty. The user clicks on a button and the clist is
filled. Then I do column_autosize() of clist. The result is a window of 2037
pixels width. Then I set horizontal scroll policy to AUTOMATIC and set_usize()
(I'm tried this with the toplevel, the scrolled window and the clist) to 1280.
The scrolled window resizes itself to the minimum clist's width. Then I click
(only click) in the resize areas (provided by WM) of the toplevel window and the
scrolled window takes my set_usize() values (or aprox) ...
