Column labels and the whole bit are handled identically for trees
and lists. The procedure, in brief, for creating a list and
presenting it is 
1) Define and populate a GtkListStore
2) Associate a GtkTreeView with it
3) Create a GtkTreeViewColumn and a GtkCellRenderer (which will 
handle the style for the column)  Hint: The column label
gets set here
4) Append the GtkTreeViewColumn to the GtkTreeView
5) Go to 3 until there are no columns left to do
6) Display the GtkTreeView in any container widget.

This is a little more complicated - because of the separation of
content and style, this isn't always easy. Basically, replace
your definition of the style part of the CList with appropriate
stuff in the GtkTreeView and do the content parts in a
GtkListStore.

Cheers,
Dave.
