you can't create an empty model with no definition of the types it must
hold.

mmh, the POD is not really that clear; as always, patches are welcome to
improve the documentation.

in this case, "strings" are "stringified types", like 'Glib::String'.

the call:

  my $model = Gtk2::ListStore->new('Glib::String', 'Glib::String');

will create a list holding two columns of strings.

the C tutorial can be of help:
