Just commited your patch. Please check if I've accidently broken anything 
while fixing some glitches :)

Some features and improvements which came to my mind:
- It would be nice to have some ordering options for the diagram tree, 
  i.e. sort by type, sort by name, ...
- to improve performance and decrease resource consumption when not
  using the diagram tree it maybe sensible to make the notification
  messages work (= do nothing) when diagram_tree() returns NULL and
  and only create the tree on users demand
- allow multiple object selection from the tree and within the diagram ?
- I'm not sure if the gdk_window_raise should really be done when
  clicking around in the tree, instead the tree window could keep the
  focus
- ...

Or maybe wait for some more users input ...

Thanks,
        Hans
