I don't think there is one. What's the application?

You probably have to change the color of each cell separately by
setting properties on the cell renderer or writing a custom cell
renderer.

You can create alternating colors with gtk_tree_view_set_rules_hint().

Looks like a divide-by-zero in gtkrange.c. This is in 2.0.0?

Indeed, it looks like the function is broken. Can you report this on
http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

You can put the tree-row-color feature request there too, but should
explain your use-case for the feature to aid in deciding on an API.
