[Pan-devel] 0.92 threading & GtkTreeViews

[Christophe Lambin]

0.92 (and probably the other 0.9x beta; didn't check) seems to sometimes 
mess up its threading. As an example, take the thread 'VPN and VNC for
embedded software porting development' in comp.os.linux.misc.

Pan threads this as follows:

(1) <address@hidden>
+---> (2) <address@hidden>
+-+-> (3) <address@hidden>
  +---> (4) <address@hidden>
  +---> (5) <address@hidden>

The problem is that (2) is displayed as a child of (1). However, (2)'s
References header is:

        References: <address@hidden>
        <address@hidden>
        <address@hidden>

So, (2) should really be a child of (5).

This is a fairly simple example, but I see many cases of this problem.

Different subject: grouplists and articlelist are now GtkTreeViews,
which we've wanted to do for a long time. One drawback (IMO) is that
TreeViews put a lot more whitespace between rows. This means fewer
articles can fit on the screen. In that sense, I preferred the old
CTrees.  The attached patch reduced the whitespace by setting the ypad
property header & group pane to zero, making the panes equivalent to
0.14.x.

Any opinions on this ?

Regards,
Christophe
