thanks for the pixel width push rachel, i'm a bit closer now:

now i'm stuck trying to shrink the HBox height (setting visible to
false still seems to take up space) if there's no data for it's
children. again it seems to mostly work until the grid is scrolled
then strange stuff happens. rows w/data are hidden, etc.

obviously still missing something fundamental about item renderers.....
