ListGrid's FilterEditors show the filter value in blue when canFilter=false

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I don't know if this is a bug or a "feature", but since I did not get any
answers in the forums since July, I add an issue here to keep track of this.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a ListGrid with a FilterEditor
2. You want to let the user filter only some columns: some ListGridFields
have canFilter=false, while others have canFilter=true.
3. Tell the grid to filter itself programmatically, and include in the
criteria a filter on one of the fields with canFilter=false.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The grid shows the filter value in blue in the header of the column I am
filtering.

Here is a post explaining the problem, with explanation on how to re-create
it using the Smartclient showcase, my questions, and my workaround:

I added this issue here because my workaround is not satisfying anymore,
and I would really appreciate it if this behavior could get fixed (if it is
indeed a bug), or if SmartGWT could be enhanced to choose wether or not to
show these values in blue (if it is a desired feature).

Best regards,

-Etienne

As noted by Isomorphic on the forum thread, this is not a bug. If you still 
have concerns, please continue 
discussion on the forum thread.

Okay, I will do that. I did not have much time to reply on the forums lately, 
but I
still have issues with this :) I'll post in the forum later this week. Thanks!
