the algorithm to put the tasks in the grid is maybe a bit convoluted so i 
still did not understood whar the entity of problems in it could be.
but a place where there is definitely a problem is QGraphicsGridLayout:
it turns out if you make a grid layout with items on say 3 rows, and then 
remove the items on a row, the layout will still think it has 3 rows (even if 
rowCount() now will return 2) and so resize the items on the first two rows to 
make room for that ghost dead third row and seems there is no way to really 
reset it (and no, there was absolutely no updates to graphicslayouts in 
qt4.5tp not a single line changed :/ ).
so, i don't see non hacky solutions to that in the short term, the only way 
for now would be something like delete and recreate the layout each time the 
row count decreases :(
in that case layoutwidget shouldn't be a layout itself but just contain one...
