Thank you! This tutorial has been needed for a long time.

Same here.  I've gone through my notes regarding the use of GtkTreeView 
and you have explained just about everything that I have struggled
to figure out.

Here are three things that you may wish to add:

1) How to programmatically select a cell and make it editable by using 
gtk_tree_view_set_cursor().

2) How to make the expander triangle visible on a tree row that has no
children.  Someone asks about this every few months.  Look at the
thread "How to force the visibility of a GTK2 treeview row expander"
in gtk-app-devel-list from May, 2003 or use this URL:

3) How to convert a *GtkTreeViewColumn to a column number. See the
following post by Andrej Prsa on how to do this:
