From a quick skim, that looks somewhat similar to the scheme I've come up with through trial and error. However, I currently allow empty containers at any point in the tree which isn't a leaf, and which doesn't only have one empty container child. I'll look through it in detail when I haven't just been getting annoyed with my own algorithm so much. Actually, the biggest problem I have with threading is Gtk's behaviour. When you double click on a CTree branch, it toggles the expansion state, which is highly annoying. I can untoggle it in most cases, but that can result in strange scrolling, leading to weird selections being left behind. Also, if it's an empty container being double clicked, I want to display the first real message, but that prevents me from untoggling the branch, somehow.
