Hi Robert,

No problem :) This confused me when I was a 'newbie' so I don't blame you.
Instead of using 3 CellRendererText's, all you need to do is use one,
and then when you append an item to the model of the treeview
(gtk.ListStore etc.) all you must do is:
model.append([thumbnail, "filename.png\nfoo\nbar"])
The '\n' means that it causes a line break, and so filename.jpg, foo and
bar should be on separate lines.
Hope this helps :)
