[pygtk] ListStore iter vs. path

[Marco Antonio Islas Cruz]

Paths is a reffer to a row, as an example, if you have a model with 100
rows, the path 10 will ref to the row number 11, no matter if you insert
rows before, the row will ref only to the row number 11.

Iters are another kind of ref. they ref to the row and keep the ref with
the row even if you insert another rows before, or if you reorder them.
