I'll do that once it runs stably. Some time in the future it should look like 
the javax.swing.JTable counterpart in Java / Swing:

I've already done that, found several solutions for Ajax, but not for Gtk# 
desktop apps.

It's gonna be a Gtk# desktop app.

Well, theoretically the guys & girls developing Gtk# could help me...

"3rd party SW vendor" would mean some OSS developer in this context. 
Generally, the Mono / MD community is still quite small, but I hope that this 
will change in the near future, so that somebody will concentrate on these 
fancy high-level widgets and then integrate them into MD.
