Sorry for this maybe stupid question but what's the correct way to
create groups in a org.eclipse.jface.preference dialog?

By "group" I mean these engraved boxes a title (visually like
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Group) that surround multiple preferences and
group them e.g. by subject.

Just adding a group and then using that group as parent for the
fieldEditors just messes up things. Does one have to set a special
layout or something of that sort? Or does one have to fiddle with
PreferenceNodes here? The rather terse API-docs didn't give me any clue
how to do this...

Just realized, that this is not GEF specific and so I moved it to the
platform NG.
