No, sorry - I was on crack. ;-) It does indeed use the number of
columns. NULL-termination is the usual GTK convention, but not used in
this case.

API stuff like this of course won't change in a stable release
(1.2.6->1.2.8), 1.2.8 shouldn't require a recompile much less code
modifications. 2.0 isn't out yet, so don't use that.
