So, I added javascript to hide and then show again the column separator when a mouse click is released. I found that jQuery plugin like "flexigrid" also done it this way.

Looks like it's working great :D

Now you're going to start hating me, but I found another problem. You
assume that the first column in the result set will contain the action
links. Not true. Go to 'Settings' -> 'Main frame' -> 'Browse mode' ->
'Where to show the table row links' Change from 'Left' to any of the
other options like 'Nowhere', 'Right' or 'Both'. Go back to browsing
mode and you see that the action links are displayed differently, but
only column 1 is locked from reordering.
