Ever since jrb committed the incremental reflow, GtkTreeView seems a
lot less stable.  Sometimes i get inconsistent behavior as if there are
some uninitialized variables.  Sometimes i seem to get random memory
corruption.

Generally, i am very careful and program as defensively as possible.
i never saw these types of problems before the incremental reflow
commit.  i haven't filed bugzilla reports because even the test
programs which come with gtk+ don't work in obvious ways.
