It is a quite hairy combination of notebooks, tables and containers, so it will probably take a looong time to cut it down and still have the problem.

The intension is to prevent a lot of table-resizing during the population of the tables with widgets of different sizes. If there are better ways/more correct ways to do this, I'll be pleased to hear about this. So in my application freeze/thaw do have effect, but does not seem to have any relation to the problem in question. Actually the button I mentioned that I clicked to (as an unintended bi-effect) make the contents visible, do also freeze/thaw.
