	Heh - a bit unkind to call it a "'feature'" - indeed doing a lot of
(possibly re-enterant) CORBA roundtrip per get_path, iter_next etc. is
hammering GtkTree rather more than I imagine it was expected to be, and
it does pretty well really.

	Oh - interesting, we can try and colour rows foreground to denote focus
and for various other interesting things; good.
