Or Rasters Evas or the Gnome canvas or any other canvas that minimises the
redrawing required. I'm not sure how well they handle tables or even how
they'd handle this situation with an internal table column getting wider
but I'm sure any of them would do better overall than the workarea
currently does. There are some pretty fancy algorithms for deciding what
to redraw I'd rather we didn't have to reimplement them ourselves.
Evas seems like it should work with most frameworks/toolkits for X and is
pretty fast. It also makes use of OpenGL (eg. Mesa) if it's available so
you can have sprites and textures and other weird stuff.

You won't catch me using one of those closing signatures. No siree. Not one.
