No, that's the drawback of this solution. The implementation of the 
widget need some knowledge of the project model object, to know what is 
the name of each project item or the corresponding icon.

If the the code in libanjuta knows by example that there is a name 
column in the project model. All project manager plugin need to have 
such column and it becomes part of the API.

It's more flexible if the project manager provide only a widget allowing 
to choose the target. The widget doesn't have to use a GtkTreeModel at all.


An intermediate solution could be to implement a generic widget with 
enough setting to accommodate various case. The widget could use 
callback to get project name and icon by example.
