Hi Andreas,
you scared me with your freeze story, so I have not tried to reproduce it ;)
But I am all for removing treetool.
With NJplot being a bit superseded by the lastest SeaView, that unfortunately
non-free now, and TreeView X being in difficulty because it does not compile
with latest wxwidgets, we may fall short of tree viewers.
I found a possible emergency plan B: jstreeview.

It is a javascript program, but we can simply use it as a local web page and
write a desktop entry that starts a browser on it.
Have a nice day,
