This is a cosmetic issue but it's driving me bonkers.

I only use Thunar with the option to "View as Icons". I'd like the spacing 
between icons in Thunar to be constant, but Thunar insists on increasing the 
spacing between icons when long filenames are detected (e.g., when I press 
Control+H in my home folder and hidden files with long names show up).

A user perplexed by this same issue documented it here, with screenshots: 
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199121

If I put something like this in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to increase the 
baseline/initial distance between icons...

style "thunar-spaced-out-icons"
{
  ThunarIconView::column-spacing = 70
  ThunarIconView::row-spacing = 70
}
class "ThunarIconView" style "thunar-spaced-out-icons"

...Thunar increases the distance between icons even more when long file names 
are detected.

Is there a setting that tells Thunar to NOT change the distance between icons? 
If there is no such setting, I'd like to recompile Thunar without this 
"feature". I grepped the source code for "column-spacing" and didn't find an 
obvious culprit, so the offending function must change a variable of some other 
name. Please help.
