GtkList is deprecated and only included b/c GtkCombo used it (in the 2.4
series of gtk+ that will be replaced as well) and there was no
alternative.

you probably want to take a look at Gtk2::SimpleList. and/or the
Model/View/Controller stuff. Gtk2::SimpleList is a perl module to aid in
the easy creation and manipulation of list data. it for all intents and
purposes is a Gtk2::TreeView with a special hash key tied to the data of
the list. for info on Gtk2::SimpleList see
simplelist.pl in the examples directory of Gtk2-Perl (s.f.'s browse cvs
seems to be down at the moment or i would provide you a url. if you want
to do it the straight gtk+ way, see:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/TreeWidgetObjects.html

any further questions welcome, hopefully that will help.
