I cannot quite understand what you are trying to achieve,
nevertheless:

gtk_widget_get_size_request() returns the size explicitly
set with gtk_widget_set_size_request().  As no size was
explicitly set on the tree view, you get -1 in data.i and
data.j.  To request size from a widget, use gtk_widget_size_request().
