Thank you for your suggestion.  The documentation is characteristically
ambiguous, so I can't tell whether this function would solve the problem. 
The documentation says that the function does not emit the rows_reordered
signal, but it does not say that the list store is not resorted.  Perhaps
suppressing the rows_reordered signal also suppresses sorting, but I don't
find that crucial detail documented anywhere.  In any case,
insert_with_values does not appear to be available in PyGTK, which is what
I am actually using.

This problem with list stores seems serious to me, so I am surprised that
Gtk suffers from it.
