[pygtk] URLs in treeviews

[hvastani at vt.edu]

Thanks for replying to my query but I guess yall misunderstood my question. I am
trying to display a URL in a TREEVIEW column, not a text view.
The text is displayed using CellRendererText. So now how do show the HAND for
the cursor when I mouse over the text in my column

Thank you once again
