I really want something like GtkTreeView but for matrix like data, not really a spread sheet per se. I just need it to display data in a tabular form. I'll take a look at this widget and see if it can be used for my needs though. > >I really think there needs to be some more docs.

This would have saved me hours. Well, I think we can do this anyway ;-) I plan on writing some docs to fill the Tutorial section for GtkTreeView though I do have some more questions about it first which are not in the reference docs, at least not clear in my head ;-) So I'll be asking the list for more help in that area ;-) -- .''`.
