Hmm, yes...  Well that thought had crossed my mind.

Implied by your response is that Designer can't (or can't easily) be
used to group widgets into a splitter after the fact.  But I would like
to get explicit confirmation of that, if anyone knows for sure.

I have used a number of "visual" tools that "run out of gas" when
you try to do more than the basic demo examples.  But I have
used a few that "go the distance."  I just don't have enough
experience with Designer to know which kind it is.
