It does explicitly *not* support tree view, and I never did DnD.

But the scaling bit is probably better than anything you have anyways.

I think we want to have a new widget for that display mode, for Evo 2.0
you cant really use Mono if you wanted to, but you should definitely
write a simple widget, along the lines of what I did.

This one is a tight widget, the idea was to only have a few optional
features, and it moves the logic for cell rendering into the widget,
less complexity.
