I am writing a File Manager and I'd like to show directories entries

Ok, and what about the hard way? I am still confused a bit about the new
model/view/controller of GtkTreeView. Should I write a cell-renderer or
a new model or what? Is there any documentation about this a part from
GTK+ sources?
