Comment 2 for bug 1027609

This looks tricky. Problem is that there is all sorts of magic in StoryText to handle gtk.TreeView, whose API has many set- functions and very few get- ones. In particular there seems to be no way to get at the attribute mapping from the cell renderers after the fact. So far it works by monkey-patching the set methods, but that's not an option here, as everything is set up in C code where I can't interfere with it.

The only way I can see to fix this is to actually parse the UI description myself and extract this information. Any better suggestions gratefully received...
