The problem is: think about HOW MANY titles are around in a small
library... 10000 or so is quite a low guess...

It would expand the subtree in both views !
A (memory wasting) solution is to add to the model a column for each
view, where I could set a pointer to some data useable by set_data_func
callback.
I'm looking for a less memory-wasting and more elegant solution, if it
exists. I couldn't find anything in 3 days...
