Thanks for the tip! I wonder why my original signal caller did not work:
self.treeview.connect('row-expanded', self.on_row_expanded)
...but your suggestion works much better:
self.treeview.connect('test-expand-row', self.on_row_expanded)
I also had to remove my 'extra' calls after making your change, since
they were now incompatible:
self.treeview.expand_to_path(path)
self.treeview.expand_row(path, True)
Even though this makes me extremely happy, I am still left with problem
#2 i.e. activating a 'changed' selection routine causes every initial
row expansion to be ignored -- and instead my code for row selection
kicks into effect:
selection = self.treeview.get_selection()
selection.set_mode(gtk.SELECTION_SINGLE)
selection.connect('changed', self.on_selection_changed)
I do not understand why my mouse clicks on the 'expansion' arrow is
interpreted as an entire 'row selection' instead :(
