fillWidth method on unvisible ScrollTable not runs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Scrolltable on a tabPanel, were scrollTable tab panel is not visible (
not selected tab ).
2. Executing the table.fillWidth() method.
3. Select the tab where's the ScrollTable.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When the ScrollTable tab is selected ( visible ) the fillWidth() runs
properly, but when this is not selected (unvisible) the fillWidth makes
nothing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
GWT 1.4.6, and Ubuntu Feisty

Please provide any additional information below.
Because I resize several widget areas ( some not always visible, like some
unvisible tabs on a tabPanel ) it'll be good, that the table column adjust
be fired before any resizing ( visible or unvisible tab ).

Actual way to solve it, on my case, is every time I set visible a tab with
a scrollPanel then fire the fillWidth method.

The ScrollTable must be visible for fillWidth to work properly.  If the 
ScrollTable
is not visible, its clientWidth is 0, so we have no way of determining how much 
width
is available to fill.

However, you can set the policy to RESIZE_POLICY_FILL_WIDTH, which will 
automatically
try to fill the width every time the ScrollTable becomes visible.

scrollTable.setResizePolicy(ScrollTable.RESIZE_POLICY_FILL_WIDTH);
