@ -91,6 +91,19 @@ that #GtkTreeIter<!-- -->s can be cached while the row exists. Thus, if
access to a particular row is needed often and your code is expected to
run on older versions of GTK+, it is worth keeping the iter around.

<title>Atomic Operations</title>
<para>
It is important to note that only the methods @gtk_list_store_insert_with_values and
@gtk_list_store_insert_with_valuesv are atomic, in the sense that the row is being appended
to the store and the values filled in in a single operation with regard to #GtkTreeModel signaling.
In contrast, using e.g. @gtk_list_store_append and then @gtk_list_store_set will first create a row,
which triggers the "row_inserted" #GtkTreeModel signal on #GtkListStore. The row, however, is still
empty, and any signal handler connecting to "row_inserted" on this particular store should be prepared
for the situation that the row might be empty.
This is especially important if you are wrapping the #GtkListStore inside a #GtkTreeModelFilter and are
using a #GtkTreeModelFilterVisibleFunc. Using any of the non-atomic operations to append rows to the #GtkListStore
will cause the #GtkTreeModelFilterVisibleFunc to be visited with an empty row first; the function must be prepared for that.
