GTK bug: [Bug 316087 â Resizing columns is chaotic]

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/316087

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be on the radar, or a priority of
the GTK developers yet, but there is a patch on that bug (haven't
tried it though).  One GTK developer says: "Yes, the behaviour is not
ideal."  A bit of an understatement, IMHO.
