Right, but the GUI is about setting the size of a cell. So you are actually 
setting the size of the row in the 'cell size' widget. Which is probably the 
source of our confusion.
My example wanted to make it more explicit that you _can_ move away from the 
default. Which is a different way of looking at the same thing.
Plus that this way to look at it takes away confusion as to what the default 
should do.
