Yes, I see that as well when I remove columns 5 and 6.  If you remove
the "scale=False" from column 2 it performs better except that it
doesn't take into account the vertical scrollbar.  On windows removing
col 5 and 6 shows no scrollbar.  Looks like I'll have to come up with
some GTK specific code to check for presence or absence of the
scrollbar.

(scale=False makes column 2 greedy.  Column 2 is resized to its
preferred width based on its constraints.  Perhaps I should rename
that attribute "greedy" to more aptly describe its function.)
