for xffm, changes since beta2:
* keyboard navigation with letters now enters subdirectories and wraps
at end.  
* the double treeview panel position is saved from session to session 
* text on input boxes no longer preselected
* the tab button works to move between two treeviews
* fixed cosmetic bug on unmount fixed
* columns are now reorderable by dragging column header
* fixed cosmetic bug when changing icon sizes
* fixed cosmetic bug on go-back function after double clicking on ".."
* improved goto, run, open-with, and ask-output-dir combos with text
completion with suggestions pondered by:
     1-Single last item selected     
     2-Items selected the most occasions
     3-The time items were selected     


I also wanted to use text colours when the "no icons" theme is selected
to allow for a faster handling, but I forgot how to set colours for
texts.
