TreeViews use CellRenderers. You might need to derive a custom
cellrenderer, from the existing cellrenderer. Then you must specify the
use of that cellrenderer instead of using gtkmm's
TreeView::append_column_editable() convenience template:
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/ch08s02.html#id2494853

There is a custom cellrenderer example in gtkmm, in
examples/customcellrenderer/.

But this is a lot of work, and if you just hide the whole context menu,
I think people will miss the cut, copy, and paste menu items. I doubt
this is worth the bother.
