Hi Sebastian,

I don't intend to (or at least I am certainly hoping that it's not necessary
to) modify internals.  I do, however like to know how things work, which is
why I'm trying to trace through the whole flow.

I have indeed looked at (nay, studied!) both QxTreeFolder and QxTreeElement.
These are subclasses of BoxLayout, so I'm studying how the layout classes work.

I haven't yet found how to hide a horizontalLayout, now have I looked in depth
at _createChildrenStructure.  I'll look at those.  Thanks.
