hi,
maybe it would be best to forget completely about fxtable and implement 
a table that consists of two headers controling multiple rows of 
fxpackers inside of multiple columns of fxhorizontal frames or fxpackers 
in an fxmatrix.

then you would have an fxcomposite-derivative instead of an fxtableitem 
and you could add to it whatever you like.
