gnome-filer
Added a (broken, so far) tree object. The current gtk+ tree implementation is a bit too obtuse for use in gnome-filer, so I've taken the liberty of wrapping the object up a bit tighter than usual. The new tree is managed using tree paths. So, to add a new item, you simply state the path to the location you wish the item to reside, like this:

	data_set (tree, "path", "/Tree/Subtree/Item");
	data_set_watchpoint (tree, "/Tree/Subtree/Item",
			     callback_func, data);

At this point, when the item selection is changed, the callback_func is called. (There should be a similar function for a double-click, too, but I haven't even started that.)

A couple of notes: when an item is inserted, subtrees are created if they do not exist. So you can add an entire group of nested subtrees at a blow. Also, I'm not sure whether I should track the changes to an item label. That is, should I change the path to "/Tree/Subtree/NewLabel" when the label is changed? I could do that automagically, I suppose.
