Anybody working on text column separators?

[Friedrich W. H. Kossebau]

Hi,

I came across the issue that columns in texts are not yet completely 
supported. Is anyone working on that?

For a start I did a patch (attached) which makes at least the column separator 
data survive a roundtrip through Words. Might be worth to add as bugfix to 
2.5. What do you think?

For master I would like to also add actually rendering the column separator as 
well as adding a control to the page style dialog to configure it.
But I have no idea yet how I best implement the rendering. I looked e.g. at 
KWFrameLayout but saw no solution waiting between the code lines.

Any proposals from Words insiders how to approach this?

Support for different column widths are a separate issue and have no need for 
me ATM :)

Cheers
Friedrich
