Great.

BTW, Is SQLSession usable on Gadfly (and is gadfly thread-safe) ?

Is gadfly a good place for storing sessions ?

Thats exactly what I have been thinking.

I remember it has been discussed on the list, but I don't remember anyone 
actually doing it.

OTOH the existance of the following in TreeTag.py:

        # opened_decoration=None,
        # closed_decoration=None,
        # childless_decoration=None,

suggests that it has been that way once ?
