Sorry if I'm jumping into a thread that I havent read... maybe
this comment was already made on this thread...

Why not use GtkCellRendererToggle w/ GtkTreeView & GtkListStore ?

Or use a GtkListStore to select your data item and some togglebuttons
and whatever other control widgets below your treeview (i.e. the single
toggle button applies only to the selected row) ?

(Sure; writing treeview code is a pain, but its perfect for these
"large dataset" situations).
