>   * Additional messages for SplitGrid layout
>   
>   This patch introduces two new message SetMasterRows and SetMasterCols for the
>   X.GridVariants.SplitGrid layout, which set the number of rows/columns in the
>   master grid to the given value.  This is useful when setting the number of rows
>   and/or columns non-incrementally using an interface such as GridSelect.

In response to this, Wirt Wolff and I started talking about possible
improvements to Navigation2D, as it seems a bit complex right now.  So, whoever
looks at this patch pack, please do not apply the X.A.Navigation2D patch.  The
other three patches should be fine, as they are minor enhancements of modules
that are already in the repo.  I hope it is possible to selectively apply a
subset of the patches I sent.  If not, let me know and I'll resend only the ones
that can be applied right now.

Cheers,
Norbert
