We should probably have an update method for the grids.

[Jo-Erlend Schinstad]

We should have way to reload the data from the dictionary or the desktopcouch. After all, some of the beauty of DesktopCouch is the ability to share data among different applications on different machines. For instance, a feedreader might run on your primary machine, adding unread articles to the database. Another application would then simply display the data from the database and would like to poll it every x minutes. CouchGrid.update() would be nice.

Perhaps even a CouchGrid.set_update_interval(seconds=-1, minutes=-1, hours=-1) property for it to automatically update itself?

if we implement that auto-update, then we should probably use CouchDBs Update Seq and only add new entries to the treeview instead of reloading the whole thing, which may save lots of CPU-time if the list is long.
