Which functions in fm-list-view.c are you talking about?
get_visible_columns()/apply_columns_settings()? That just sets the
visible columns on the treeview. So, the list of all visible columns set
from that should be gettable with gtk_tree_view_get_columns() 

Coordinates for a column can be gotten with
gtk_tree_view_get_cell_area(). Just pass NULL for the path.
