It doesn't sound like a âtree viewâ is the most appropriate concept for
the layer list.  There is no apparent visual hierarchy.  I am not
familiar with GTK, but is there another widget that would be more
suitable?  E.g., table, list, general scrollable canvas with custom
widgets stacked vertically?
