Check out TreeView.RulesHint.

http://go-mono.org/docs/monodoc.ashx?link=P%3aGtk.TreeView.RulesHint

Simply:

myTreeView.RulesHint = true;

should do the trick.  If you're on Windows however, you may need to hack
your theme to make them display (as they don't by default).  If this is
the case, let me know and I can tell you how you can get them to show.

Best,
