Here's a mockup for the cuemiac widget. For the uninitiated cuemiac is an acronym for CoolUberEnhancedMatrixImmersiveAlignedCairoWidget. It also hints how I think basic functionality should be. Hits will be represented in categories (regardless from which backend they come from). For each category the top priority two/three hits a listed directly and any more hits go in a "more *s (num_hits)" expander. The good thing about this layout is that it's possible without too much custom widget building. Basically we only need a custon cellrenderer for the underlined category titles. Now cuemiac has Cairo in it's name and I also thought on doing a Cairo based widget. The catch here's is that this will prolly be overkill... If we use the TreeView and TreeStore in smart ways we can achieve quite cool effects using just those (if we really want, we use cairo to write cellrenderers). Cheers Mikkel PS: I also attached an svg version for easy manipulation
