Sorry, I think I got a bit confused because you were talking about this specific dialog and I was thinking more in abstract. Anyways, I think we don't need this complex dialog; I wouldn't like it in my own apps. It's a bit of a cumbersome UI. If a right-click menu is necessary for easier access, I'd rather have something simple like: Resize Column Move Column Select Columns ... The latter could either pop up a column chooser dialog (just to select the visible columns), or even a submenu with the list of available columns. GTK+ could maybe provide the widget to pick the columns (i.e. just a checklist with optional instant apply), but I don't think it really needs anything else UI-wise. On the other hand, it's important to have a way to save and restore the layout of the TreeView. -- Ettore
