87860 - outliner doesn't work inside XBL

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Hey hyatt, this could be total pilot error on my part (I'm an XBL idiot), but
I'm trying to figure out what's up with bug 86755, and as far as I can tell, the
XUL outliner builder is doing everything right, but the outliner doesn't want to
paint. I massaged your original test case
(mozilla/xul/base/src/outliner/outliner.xul) into an XBL widget, and can't seem
to get anything to paint. Stepped through stuff in the debugger, and it appears
that the view is being set up properly, but that the invalidate is having no
effect. Can you take a look?

So, specifically what I'm seeing is that the outliner ``chrome'' (the column
headers, etc.) appear to come up fine. Clicking the ``Attach'' button appears to
properly attach the view to the outliner (stepped through this in the debugger),
but no cell values appear.
