Nope, I still get corruption in the solution tree view:

ERROR [2009-03-18 13:13:19Z]: Gtk-Critical: file /build/buildd/gtk 
+2.0-2.12.9/gtk/gtktreeview.c: line 4895 (gtk_tree_view_bin_expose):  
assertion `has_child' failed.
There is a disparity between the internal view of the GtkTreeView,
and the GtkTreeModel.  This generally means that the model has changed
without letting the view know.  Any display from now on is likely to
be incorrect.
