If "gtk_clist_set_column_width()" causes columns to expand in width (and
causes the top-level window to expand as needed), then having
"col_add_str()", "col_append_str()", etc. keep track of the maximum
width of the column to which they're adding stuff, and using that to
change the column widths after all packets have been run through the
dissector to generate their summary lines,t hat might do it. (See the
"XXX" comment before "get_column_width()".)

One could, I guess, copy "fd->cinfo->col_data[i]" to a temporary buffer,
and append it after the "vsnprintf()" call.
