Yeah, that sounds like something that would be useful.

Here you should use the middle button. But I agree with you (I always
forget to use the middle button). I think it would be a "good thing" to
compile a list of characteristics which should change, disappear or be
added for the gtk2 version of xftree.

I'm thinking a good deal about the gtk2 version of xftree. Of special
consideration is the fact that gtk1.2 ctrees are not very fast, but
gtk2.0 treeviews are even slower: this must be solved somehow. I wish I
had a little more free time at the moment...
