Use the toggled signal on the renderer like this :

g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT(renderer), "toggled", G_CALLBACK
(your_callback), NULL);

"your_callback" would look like this :

static void your_callback(GtkCellRendererToggle *cell,
               gchar *path_str,
               gpointer data)
{
        // get the treemodel from somewhere
        GtkTreeIter  iter;
        GtkTreePath *path = gtk_tree_path_new_from_string (path_str);
        gboolean enabled;
         
        gtk_tree_model_get_iter (model, &iter, path);
        gtk_tree_model_get (model, &iter, COLUMN_X, &enabled, -1);
        enabled ^= 1;
         
	// do something with the new enabled value, and set the new
	// enabled value in your treemodel
         	
         
        gtk_tree_path_free (path);
}

I don't remember where I learned this, but I think it was from the
gtk-demo though.
