Look at gtk_list_store_newv (), it takes an array of GTypes rather than
being a vararg function. You should be able to construct the array at
run-time.

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkListStore.html#gtk-list-store-newv

Or use "devhelp", which displays the same help content locally if you
have the appropriate -doc packages installed for your distribution.
