I totally agree with Greg on this,
Expat is a great piece of software, arguably the fastest XML parser on
Earth, low memory usage, very elegant, so important in current days that
Linux distros as Fedora and Suse store Expat on /lib instead of /usr/lib
(with symlinks from /usr/lib), so it can be used even when /usr/lib is
not mounted...
Expat comes with a good manual, several examples, and the people on the
(low-traffic) mailling list is very knowleadgeble and willing to help
newbies...
In my case, I use Expat to load object and config XML data (plus XHTML
doc files...) to my memory engine. The object data hierarchy in turn can
be seen with GtkTreeView widgets, as you want.
Of course don't expect to be a Expat expert in 24 hours, but you will
not regret going with Expat.

Basically you use something like an XML_Parser (from
http://www.libexpat.org/), you're
distro may have the "expat" package, well, you'll need expat-devel,
and #include <expat.h>)
XML_Parser is setup with callback routines that are passed the xml
tag, and associated data.
The XML_Parser object is then used to parse the xml blob, and it will
call callback
routines at each xml level.
The callback routine then decides what to do with the tag (and
associated date). It might,
for example, create a new row in the GtkTree, or it might create a new
node, or it might
ignore the data altogether.
