Like Brian (Dessent), I don't have sufficient experience of using treeview 
controls, to offer advice specific to your problem -- in fact, I have zero 
experience in this area.

You don't say, but given the hideous name, I'd guess that you've obtained that 
from some prebuilt Linux package set, (Debian or Gentoo, perhaps).  If you 
suspect that you have issues with that cross-compiler suite, then I'm afraid 
you will have to take them up with the original packager.  Alternatively, you 
might like to try building a more recent version from scratch, using the 
build script which *we* support:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/x86-mingw32-build.sh-0.0-20061107-1.tar.bz2

To capture the most recent runtime library updates, you might also like to 
grab this CVS update:
http://mingw.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/mingw/xscripts/x86-mingw32-build.sh.conf?revision=1.2

So do I :-)  Mine is called i586-mingw32-gcc, and announces itself as version 
3.4.5 (mingw special).  FWIW, I don't even have Woe32 on my development box.
