But will this give me a row-oriented list with multiple columns?  I do
NOT want the user to move from cell to cell.  Arrows should
move from row to row but not from column to column.  The user drags a
slider to see more columns.  I would not make sense for Qt to have
dropped this support for this kind of widget.  Perhaps it's an option on
the QTableWidget.  I'll have to check.
