Using existing widgets, you can stuff GtkCheckButton in GtkList, or you
could make a VBox full of GtkCheckButton, or something like that. However
if you have lots of items it could be sluggish. It might look kind of dumb
too.

For gnome-apt, I've hacked a tree with this feature, using GtkDrawingArea.
You can find it at http://www.debian.org/~hp/gnome-apt.html and see if
it's helpful. drawtree.h, drawtree.cc.
