For now a CTree might be your only standard option.  However I strongly
suggest you consider GAL.  I believe the ETree(?) will support what you
want, and has a much nicer API to boot.  You can get GAL from CVS, or
from the Ximian website (it was developed for use with Evolution :).

To the best of my knowledge (I haven't used the GTree much), a GTree
dosn't have any properties :).  All the behaviour is governed by various
GTreeItem's and such.
