But it isn't that simple, because paper can't help you plan for QT deciding 
that all the columns need to be wider to accommodate something that isn't any 
bigger than what was already there.  Even doing a setMaximumWidth() on the 
offending elements doesn't help.  They wind up narrower than the columns that 
are still too wide for no reason.

Oh well.  Whatever.  I obviously don't know what the hell I'm doing, and need 
my nose wiped again.  So I will stop bitching, go sort out the SPB tristate 
stuff, and commit this today.

I'll turn that useless "load preset" button back on too, so it gets a chance 
to have a real programmer twiddle its layout too.  I intend to see about 
making that button do something as soon as this first phase is finished.

Rolling that into something hanging off that button is the next step, and I 
may well get there before 1.3 at this rate.  Depending on how things go with 
the job change.
