Re: [Evolution] a few quick Qs

Well the table 'widget' in evolution is 'not just a widget' really, its
a rather specifically written and complex wiget called e-table.

It probably wont be part of gtk, because etable is canvas based, and also GPL
(not lgpl as required for gtk+).  It does everything itslef, including
having pluggable renderers for each part, so it needs stylising differntly.
