Ok guys, sorry for my ultra spam on the treeview subject.

I finally have a fix that works for glade-3... the context is a GtkTreeStore
which represents a widget hierarchy, so the problem was that I can not
garauntee that parents get added to the tree before children, so when 
parents finally get added, we have to adjust the tree.

Right now, when a parent gets added to the tree, all the GtkTreeIter's that
are "children" of that widget get removed and re-added to the project.

While this solution is "sane" and "works", it still leaves me confused as to
why I wouldn't be able to reparent heirarchies of GtkTreeIter objects in a 
GtkTreeStore, I would expect that a file browser would come across the
same situation when a "mv" of a directory occurs, should the file browser
have to completely recreate the hierarchy of the treeview ?

/me wonders if I'm missing some feature that makes this all alot easier

Cheers,
