then you should read the GtkTreeView tutorial at:

  http://scentric.net/tutorial/treeview-tutorial.html

which covers most of the basics of the GtkTreeView and GtkTreeModel API
and usage.

you don't really want to do that, as if you do this inside an event
callback or after your application has started, it'll block the main
loop (and it's pretty much overly complicated). you can load your
GtkListStore lazily, using this pattern:
