Well, here's some code that aims even lower -- I use the attached class in my applications as a way to remember where a user has positioned a window and the state of various widgets (panes, toggles). I haven't yet used it for scrollbars, but it should be do-able. I ran into some trouble with adjustable column-widths as I couldn't find a reliable way to get and set them while still allowing the user to reset them (I believe this has already been commented on). I haven't even thought about touching the parts of the TreeView that would require knowing something about the TreeModel.
