There's no need to send me personal mails about gtk-sharp.  I read the
mailing list.  ;-)

As the constructor for NodeStore implies, the class is designed around a
homogeneous node set.  Also, keep in mind that NodeStore was an
experiment which never really got completed. It does not support the
sorting or drag and drop interfaces, etc...

Most people who start using it find it lacking in many ways.  I don't
think it's worth investing much energy in it at this point, especially
in this direction.
