Hi John,

good idea to talk with the gtk folks. I guess the listbox-c shows the direct 
data retrieval
in a a nice way. But it would not only require to add columns but also all this 
editing
and selecting based on mouse and keys. Maybe some clean extension of listbox-c 
is nicer
than building something around treeview.

Do the gtk guys see the problem of gtktreeview with large datasets and do they 
have a plan?
Is there a chance that something like the extended listbox-c-lazy-gtksheet 
would ever make it
into gtk?
