No. TreeModel is an interface that is implemented by TreeStore and
ListStore; you'll probably want to use the latter. You can create a
ListStore in Glade, populate it, create a TreeModelFilter, set its
child model as your ListStore, and then set the TreeModelFilter as the
model of your ComboBox. Personally I prefer to create my data
structures / models in code, though.

By using more than one cell renderer, perhaps?
