[plt-scheme] Multi-column list box control?

You're right about the gaps,
I'm thinking the Embedded GUI http://docs.plt-scheme.org/embedded-gui/index.html
might offer a better mechanism than the panels for implementing this.

I can't find a working implementation anywhere in the plt-full
distribution - and the tests don't seem to work.
