Hi Bill,

I'll post my test cases and code in
a new bug report in Gnome's bugzilla. I'll post a link to it once it's
ready.

Hi Pete

These sound like bugs.  Of course, operator error is another
possibility, but in any case we can't determine what to do without bug
reports, test cases, etc.

FWIW, I don't see these sorts of problems with at-poke, and gnopernicus
has not encountered them, so it's possible that you have inadvertantly
wandered into unexplored regions of the gtk+ treeview implementation.
