Expand Column Width of table entries

Some views like the "Remote Monitor" View e.g. for "my jobs" consist of table columns.

When a developer changes the column width and then closes and reopens the view, the column widths earlier are no longer used. The column width goes to a default value.

It would be much better if either the column widths when closing are saved and used when opening the view -
or at least making the 1st 5 columns double the default width (resource, Job id, -name,-owner and -entry date)
- instead of just the 1st column named "resource".
