Bug Description

In Mac OS X, when in column view, you can double click the separator between levels, and the list to the left of that separator automatically expands to the appropriate width to be able to read all file and folder names.

See image and please contact me if I'm unclear.

You would have to iterate over the treeview model check the length of
each row I think. Then set the position of the hpane based on the
longest row found.

But how are we supposed to check for such a event, is the gutter one of the GtkPaned children?

you could just catch the double click event on the hpaned, and then check how close the event happened to the gutter, not too hard
