You are welcome to do any of that. For scene, what else is there besides
what is already in other places? Please no "Omega" or "rootBody", those
are programmer's name which have nothing to do in the interface. The
idea with saveTmp'd is nice, I had it some time ago, but never had
resources to do it.

The qt4-tree serialization interface is IMHO not useful, since it has to
serialize everything every time,  will not honor Attr::triggerPostLoad
attribute, has not access to python docstrings and so on. In short, c++
is too heavy for UI.

That is (likely) a bug in boost::serialization. If you were following
the list, we had this issue w/ ubuntu 10.10, then it went away without
any obvious reason (so I assume it was a bug in some libs which is now
fixed). You will have the same error for every save, not just for
generators.
