Does it support tree view and dnd and scale, and etc etc? :)

(its only prototype code right, so it might have some good ideas, but is a ways off being usable).

Can you make GtkTreeView (or the list view) display like that?  Using a custom cell renderer for example?  We might be able to make gtktreeview scale, or we might not :-/

That would probably be the way to go wouldn't it?  And more GNOME oriented?
