I'd suggest using XML, e.g. by libxml. Below is a code fragment to
draw an XML doc into a tree, two attributes are used, "text" and
"expanded", extend it for your needs. The reverse should also be
simple. Or you hold the data all the time in an xmlDoc, and only use
the GtkCTree to display the data.

}
