does the space inside OO count as empty ? what about transparent pixmaps ?

I see.

Ah. Windows Explorer got you confused. List View in WE is just like Icon  
view. It's a table. In WE Details view is a list view but it's a very stupid  
list and doesn't work like you described. It works by making the file names  
sensitive and *everything* else insensitive which means you don't select rows  
or cells, you select an arbitrary piece of screen around a label.
That is definitly NOT the way a list should work and it's 100% unsuitable for  
a number of apps. And proof is Outlook (yes, outlook!) doesn't use the same  
widget - it just *doesn't work.
