I'd love to see how that would look like ! ;-)

Yes (but I'd never have found that feature if you hadn't tell me),
and the arrows work the other way round if you compare them
to a scrollbar (or more accurately, compare them with the kicker
arrows). You have to press the Left button if you want to see one more
field, i.e. the first one the _right_. kicker buttons work (obviously)
the other way round: you press Right to see the first one on the _right_
that you can't see.
But I like being able to move columns yes. QListView supports that, no ?
I guess it's just a matter of storing the position in a config file ?

But where ??? ;-)
Appended to the name below the icon ? Hmm.

David.
