Basically this seems to be the right solution to me. Serialising
placeholders would solve a couple of problems we have in gdl.

About the tree model: I think there is a dialog in gdl that can be used to
show all docs. However, I don't think that is used anywhere and it might
not be a big problem if these model would not show the hidden windows.

Maybe we can even get rid of the dialog...
