That would address the situation *if* we felt that treectrl served as a =
useful
base for "more generic" treeview widget.  That is what I am not certain =
of.

I did verify that Tim's latest changes greatly reduce memory (ActivePerl =
PPM
steady state reduced from ~66MB to ~43MB, with just an upgrade to =
treectrl
2.2).  However, if I only needed what a "simpler" treeview would =
provide, and
it provided it with a memory size of ~20MB for the same app ... does =
that not
justify a simpler, dedicated widget?

Therein lies the real question - if we strongly feel that a simple =
dedicated
and mega configurable tree widgets (2 separate) are both valuable, let's =
get
treeview in 8.5, and treectrl in 8.6.

(BTW Tim - I had to modify the configure.ac to kick treectrl to 2.2 - =
any
reason not to commit that?)

Also, the fact that OO got bumped to 8.6 also threw some ideas I was =
hoping
for 8.5 out with it (in terms of easier megawidgets based on core =
widgets).
