I don't see any limitation using Gtk treeview/listview's. For example,
evolution uses huge lists to store mail and you can index thousand of
lists. But I think there will have to make some tests with the new nessus
GUI.

IIRC, nessus 2.2 currently uses a Gtk+ 2.X GUI, no? At least you can
compile with Gtk+2 support.

Is planned more nessus frontends in a future? I was thinking about porting
the UI using Qt/kdelibs, but currently I don't know how splitted is the
view from the model/controller and if I have to know how it works the full
application.

Best regards,
Alejandro
