The UIListTreeType was my next target to port. But my MythUITypes are really 
very buggy at this state of development. I tried to get viewable results as 
fast as possible. The UIManagedTreeListType was in my eyes more attractive to 
port, because it is used in many parts of MythTV. I rewrote much of its code 
but tried to keep its api. MythUIType has many disadvantages if you want to 
delete one child. I want to finish MythUILineEdit first. Is it still your 
main idea to port to the new MythUIType? I like how to use it, but it isn't 
easy to reimplement UITypes at places, where QT already does a really good 
job and to get results, where a new MythUITypes would do a job as good as QT 
from a quality point of view. I would appreciate any suggestions how to 
continue my work.
