tree view hide key

[Brian Milby]

Well, testing any of the fixes would require you to download the widget and
build it as none of the 9.1 builds are out yet.

I did have an idea about manual sorting of data in a tree view.  I'll need
to bounce it around in my head a bit to see if it would be workable.  The
basic idea would be to allow sorted lists of keys to be set for a parent
node that would override the default sort.

Double click to put data somewhere else should work - that is a message
that is passed for leaf nodes.
