Actually, the CTree was supposed to replace the Tree completely.
The only missing thing is that you cannot put Widgets in cells.
Incidentially, the data structures are already prepared for this
but the is no code support. I would suggest that you complete the
CTree instead of writing your own (third) tree widget. You should
get in contact with the Gtk authors and check what has been done
in this area for Gtk 2.0 (look at the gtk-dev mailing lists on
www.gtk.org).

Then, you just have to add a couple of new methods to pygtk :-)
