[PyQt] Wretched horizontal scrolling of QTreeWidget on Linux

[Edward K. Ream]

On XP, a QTreeWidget never scrolls horizontally automatically, and
that works well in practice.

On Linux, a QTreeWidget will typically scroll horizontally when an
item to the right of the present item is selected programatically,
i.e., not with the mouse, but with code triggered from a keystroke.
Worse, scrolling doesn't get restored to zero horizontal offset when a
"leftward" item is selected.  Not good.

I don't see any options/methods that have any chance of affecting
this. Saving and restoring scrollbar positions does not work.
Presumably one could dig deep into QAbstractScrollArea to save and
restore the underlying scroll rect, but this is going to be far from
fun.

Anyone have any suggestions, or sample code? Thanks.
