More accurately, no one knows off-hand (and without absolute certainty) 
without looking in the code. If anyone should know, it is me, but I've 
been too bogged down to reassure myself that my gut feeling is correct. 
My gut feeling is that the gap is not settable because it is based on 
the width of the first x elements in the list. You'll find the answer in 
ComboBoxListViewSkin, if you are interested.

By default, if there is something you can't do (regardless of whether it 
is due to a lack of API or a lack of API understanding) there is no harm 
in filing a tweak request in Jira requesting the functionality. Either 
we'll respond with a pointer, or else we'll work on it as time permits.
