A tree view is not a container with children. (Technically it is a 
container, but only because it contains the header and bin windows.)

To draw stuff in a tree view, use appropriately styled "renderers". To 
react to events on the tree view, catch the event on the tree view 
widget itself, and call gtk_tree_view_get_path_at_pos to determine where 
the event happened.
