This is a known Windows "problem". It's actually working as intended (I 
think, although I don't see this behavior in most windows apps), but I agree 
it's nasty.

The trick is to create column before all your other ones, but set it to 
width 0 and to not be resizable (nor moveable if you do that stuff), so 
basically it's invisible. Then just put all your data in the the other 
columns (at index 1+) and images will show up correctly without spacing out 
any other columns.

I should mention however, that this trick does not work on Mac. So if you 
are doing stuff for both platforms, do a mac/windows check before you create 
that, and remember to offset your counts by 1 depending on the platform. I 
don't know how Linux does it.
