I could try, but not in the near future. Hm, now what is that thing that
reminds me to do something, even weeks or months later? Oh right, org-mode
;-)
Oddly enough, absolute lengths achieve the desired effect: If I write a
column width as 5cm, it appears in LaTeX as "5cm\textwidth." LaTeX
processes it as 5cm, but puts a confusing error in the log ("confusing" =
the error's line number is at the end of the frame containing the columns
environment with this odd width spec). So the patch would only correct the
syntax and remove the error, but I expect it wouldn't change the PDF result.
