I think you are missing my point. Regardless of how wide the window or 
columns can open the minimum width of the column should never allow the 
checkbox control to partially disappear. It looks hokey to me and 
unfinished. This doesn't logically make sense from a UI perspective. If 
an object that is static such as a radio or checkbox is inside a column 
then that column's minimum width is limited by the control's it 
contains. It is different if the column contained only text. Users 
expect columns to hide text when the width is small.
