If I have a table filled with some items, say 5x5 (rows,cols), then
resize the table to 2x5, it does not change, at least as far as how the
table "looks".  That's why I'm wondering if there is some redraw
function that needs to be called.

However, I'm going to try creating a list of the widgets in the rows
that I want to snip, and try deallocating them, and see if the table
will shrink dynamically, as Owen Taylor suggested.
