This one works better with the scrollbar width.  ;-)

Although not quite.  On my Emacs: 

  (window-scroll-bars) => (16 2 t nil)

I understand this means that my scrollbar is 16 pixels wide as well as
2 columns.  My character width is 11 pixels, which makes 2 columns 22
pixels.  This seems to contradict.  What I observe is that my
scrollbar is indeed 16 pixels wide, but that Emacs insist on rounding
this up to a multiple of the character width by putting some
"whitespace" around the scrollbar so that it occupies 22 pixels.  So
it seems best that the ruler-mode-*-scroll-bar-cols function use
columns times the character width (2 * 11), not the width of the
scrollbar in pixels (16).
