Let me start by saying that this is the default setting.

For the treeview and with my settings, 300 pixels for the left pane is about 
right. All the texts are readable without scrolling although you do get a 
horizontal scrollbar in some situations. (I'm not sure how much a horizontal 
scrollbar makes sense here, if you can't read the text you can enlarge the 
area instead of scrolling it, which seems rather awkward to me.)

The treeview is the default mode. In icon view it needs about 260 pixels here.
