Hi Anders,

I had some time today already to integrate your patch :-)

I think I've found a mixture which combines the benefit of both approaches:

a) Resize the columns when opening the file-dialog, but assure that the 
minimum width of the name-column is no hardcoded value as before but the 
preferred width.

b) Let the user resize the columns and don't do an automatic resizing after 
the user has changed the size of at least one column.

I've committed the patch and tested with the Kate-sidebar. Please let me know 
your opinion on this.

One important note: I could not implement b) in the way I wanted to have it. 
Currently there seems to be no easy way in QHeaderView to find out whether 
the resizing of a column has been done by the user (the signal 'sectionMoved' 
is also emitted if an internal resizing is done). I've implemented a 
workaround which turns off the automatic resizing after a short time, but 
I'll try to fix this in a clean way later.

Best regards,
Peter
