The example shows the "advanced" version of retrieving data, namely by
using a call back function. There is nothing that prevents you from
iterating through the model (with a GtkTreeIter) and call
gtk_tree_model_get directly on the model. That way you have the data
where you want it: in your main program.

I hope this is what you've asked for,
Axel.
