The width of the column should be the third argument to your signal
handler (the second is the column number).
Another way to get the column width could be also getting the
allocation of the title widget for the column.

        my $widget = $clist->get_column_widget ($column);
        my ($x, $y, $width, $height) = @{$widget->allocation};
