Are you adding data to the treeview as values (like strings, etc...) or
are you mapping the ListStore directly only your objects?  Ultimately I
find doing the later to be simpler as there is nothing to sync.

I think you want to fire an event from the TreeView (or contained
widget), not from the ListStore;  the TreeView needs to notify the
application data has changed.  I think ListStore.RowChanged notifies the
widget (or whatever container) that the data has changed in the backend
and the widget needs to be updated.  But that is off the top of my head
so I could be wrong.
