Horizontal scrolling main view Classic view

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Some versions ago you could scroll the main window horizontally in classic 
view, but not anymore. And since arranging column headers is sometimes wanted, 
it can all become jumbled up. This might be some sort of compromise I don't 
know, but if at all possible it would be nice with sideways scrolling again.

Versions; GTK3 - latest stable and git-version.

Otherwise - great work !!

Note this problem happens in Windows or X11 versions.  Horizontal scroll is no 
more...?

It's in a ScrolledWindow with the horizontal policy set to automatic, it's 
always been that way.

Not sure why automatic doesn't seem anymore, so I've tried setting it to 
always. Does it work for you?

Nope, that just added a scrollbar that doesn't scroll. 

So I've disabled restoring column sizes from config as a workaround, since it 
sucks less than not being able to scroll. The columns were set to fixed widths 
on load, and GTK doesn't seem to add these up to determine the size of the 
treeview. It used to work...

I do use my own column sizes and order. But I might be the only one.

I use it too and would like to put it back, this is a workaround in the 
meantime.

Same problem on Ubuntu Linux 13.10 64 bits.
git revision 3343101d993e

I don't see the horizontal scroll in classic view.

This is definitely a bug in GTK which I have reported. Can't find any good 
workaround, so autosize columns is the best workaround available.

I don't understand the cdd62e21a859 revision (making the columns fixed again).  
this yeilds worse behavior.  Maybe we are running into different issues with 
our builds.  Why is the revision better?  In my build, revision cdd62e21a859 
gives me expando-columns that are unusable, basically I cannot control the 
width at all because of auto-expansion (and the poor algorithm used by gtk3 to 
expand).
