as we know this leads to lots of screen updates un-necessarily. I wonder if
it would be a good idea to have a NullPainter : PainterBase that does just nothing.
This would at least remove the ugliness from the user's point of view (we set
the view to use null painter when we don't want updates ...)
Personally I would like to see a NullPainter being used for calculate row heights
too, the duplication inherent in SetHeightOfRow method is really gross.
(the latter would be 1.3.0 thing of course ...)
