I have a TreeView with rows that show parameters related to a
particular object. When the user clicks the CellRendererToggle, it
sets a flag in that underlying object; when the row is double-clicked,
another dialog pops up with more detail about the object.

The only way I've thought to do this is to keep a dict mapping paths
in the TreeModel to the objects. If there's a better way, I wouldn't
shoot it down :)

(I'd post code, but I don't have it to hand right now. Hopefully that
description isn't too cryptic.)

Otherwise, the rest of your email covers it.

Cheers,
Jason
