It should be realized in the gtk application.
gtktreeview -- gtktreeviewcolumn --- gtkcellrenderertext
is flexible enough to realize this requrement.
The following patch limit the defau;lt width of filename column to 32
char.

Hi, Ralf.
I'm not a developer, but I seem to remember that this behavior isn't
caused by Nautilus but the GTK tree view control that it uses.
Some time back, I seem to remember a discussion on this list with GTK
developers. They were planning ways to improve the auto-size behavior of
the columns, and potentially make it possible to set size constraints. I
believe that the first item was at least partially implemented, but I
don't know about the second.
Allowing size constraints would address your question about manually
setting a size and then saving that preference. Even if GTK simply
allowed Nautilus to programmatically specify a maximum total size of all
columns would at least avoid the horizontal scrollbar in Nautilus
windows, and the repeated manual adjustments that it involves.
I'm reviving this old thread because it went unanswered, but I'm very
interested as well. Do any of the maintainers/developers know about
this, either in Nautilus or in GTK land?
- John
