This is a slight improvement that is sensitive to whether the scroll bar 
is shown:

         fill_resizer = proc do
           other_width = table.rowHeaderWidth +
             (0...columns.size).inject(0){|sum,c| sum +
               (c == fill ? 0 : table.getColumnWidth(c))}
           vsb = table.verticalScrollBar
           other_width += vsb.width if vsb.shown?
           table.setColumnWidth fill, table.width - other_width - 1
           false
         end
         table.connect(SEL_CONFIGURE, &fill_resizer)
         table.columnHeader.connect(SEL_CHANGED, &fill_resizer)
