There is no quick fix for this. The layouting algorith of a tree view
and a list view are fundamentally different. You will have to switch to
QListView. I think you are finding it difficult to switch because by
using a QTreeWidget the model code is probably right in the widget code
itself. Maybe you can split out the model and view for ease of changing
the view in the future.
