For now, this code *is* shared, but in an ugly fashion. It should be
cleaned-up.

Feel free to do so.

For printing, it's almost done already in the version I sent you, at
least, the first step is done. It needs to be finished.

I do have a newer version that I'll send you on monday (I usually work
on that during week-ends at home). It can be integrated into CVS.
Another point is that a few other modifications will be usefull in other
parts, some limitations that appear only when one is creating new views,
like the fact that there is no scroll-bar on the "views" widget (the one
on the left).

I'd also like to add some drag'n'drop stuff in this view, but I don't
have precise ideas on how to do that and what to do with it.

I don't know what should be done for the common widgets, like the gantt
headers, perhaps have those stuff in a different place, not in the
views, but I don't know where, and I don't know how to handle that...
