Hello Martin!

> Whats wrong with this widget? Speed?  I have noticed that the
The functionality is to low and I think that it's much work to add all
the things which are in my head (and already in code in my unfortunately
slow one).

In detail:
- sorting
- filtering
- selecting rows and cells
- alternate coloring from row to row
- optionally adjustable column width
- context-sensitive popup menu

That's my problem - there are so many approaches to do this and I don't
know whats the best of them.

I use wxPython at home (Windows platform) and the demo of the table
widget really looks great and very fast. At the companies site we
decided to use Tkinter (Linux platform) and there is nearly no chance to
change this now.

Thanx again
Horst
