We've considered this; this is http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/295 .

Thanks for the mockup.  This looks promising, though I've never seen a 
GNOME application that has the dropdown triangles on the right side 
where you've put them.  And to my knowledge we can't make the GNOME tree 
control act that way, so to implement that we might need to use a custom 
control, which might not work well with different themes.  Do you think 
you could put together a mockup that has the triangles on the left, 
where they are in Shotwell today?

By the way, we've also considered drop shadows - this is 
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1304 .  :)
