[Gtk-sharp-list] NodeStore and lazy loading

[Jeroen Zwartepoorte]

Hey Ben,

For 2, can't you intially add a dummy child node (so the expander
arrow shows up), and then connect to the test-expand-row signal (can't
lookup the name in Gtk#) and then load the children for that node?

That's how i played around with a file tree based on TreeView and the
new GnomeVfs API.
