GtkTreeModel just holds data in a tree format.  It does not have any
information on how to render it -- that's all done in the GtkTreeView
widget.  I think it would be pretty darn easy to use it as a backend to
such a widget.  It is a little light on documentation, unfortunately.
I'd like to document it more in the future, but for now, if you have any
specific questions send them my way.
