A private reply to my last question to this list bears out the truth about
grid widget row- and column-sections, you cannot add them at runtime.
The only workaround seems to be to have enough of them created at compile
time to cover your maximum needs. When certains ones are not needed,
force them to be of size zero.

Richard,
Once again my colleague has passed on your mail. Unfortunately you
cannot add row/column-sections at runtime. I wanted to do exactly the
same thing and e-mailed Franz Inc. about it. They suggested, as you
did, creating zero width sections and then resizing them at a later
time. Here's a copy of my mail and their response:
>>You have provided methods to add/delete columns/rows easily but I can't
>>find an easy way to add/delete column/row sections.
>>
>>Is there one?

>No, the grid-widget does not support adding or removing sections after

>might be able to approximate adding sections by creating some extra
>zero-width sections when creating the grid and then resizing them
>if and when you need to "create" one --- but this is just a guess.
