looks pretty good to me. i was able, with a little bit of searching and
playing, to do things like use the get_renderer function to add a signal
for toggling the check boxes. things like that could probably be shown
in the pod and/or example code. 

from the looks of it there's a little bit of robustness and
generalization that could possible be done. i'll keep looking at it
myself. 

i really like the gist of things. a similar version probably ought to
exist for tree's, or possibly a one-for-both module. i'll let you and
the list know what i come up with. if you put more into it please do the
same.

it would be nice if this could be in for 1.0, if that's going to happen
then things need to come together for it pretty quickly. anyone with
input please provide it.
