Yes, the value of nMaxWidth was  all over the place  for the string '99' and
several thousand for the position ID string. A hack around was to put
arbitrary values in = 24 for the first string, 224 or somesuch for the
second, that returns me to a normal looking display.

Googling suggests that the code for setting the column widths is
deprecated and some reports about compiling ethereal also suggest
widget size errors.

gtk_style_get_font( psCurrent )
 is deprecated, and should be (I think) psCurrent->font

but gdk_string_width appears to be the real culprit- apparently you're
supposed to use a pango call, something like pango_layout() or somesuch
