1. A window treatment mounting assembly for mounting a window treatment over a window, the mounting assembly comprising: a longitudinally elongated channel beam for releasably retaining the window treatment, the beam comprising a sidewall defining: parallel spaced front and rear beam surfaces;an upwardly open elongate channel between the front and rear beam surfaces;a bottom beam surface extending from the front beam surface to the rear beam surface, the bottom beam surface defining a downwardly open elongate groove, wherein the bottom beam comprises a rearward engagement member having at least one of a slot and a lip;a resiliently compressible retention member sized for insertion within the channel, whereby engagement between the retention member and at least part of the sidewall releasably couples the window treatment to the channel beam in a friction fit;at least one mounting bracket for supporting the channel beam in a mounting position adjacent the window, each said at least one mounting bracket comprising: an anchor member for securing the mounting bracket in the mounting position;a support arm extending from the anchor member forwardly towards a forward end and defining an upwardly oriented seating surface, the support arm having a rib on the forward end sized for mated engagement in at least part of the elongate groove;a retention flange projecting forwardly from the anchor member and spaced above the support arm to define a forwardly open channel-recess therebetween; wherein the bottom beam surface is positionable in a mounted arrangement in abutting contact with the seating surface, with the rib in mated engagement with the elongate groove and the engagement member engaging at least one of the retention flange and the channel-recess. 2. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 1, wherein the rib is positionable in the elongate groove under pivotal movement of the channel beam with the engagement member engaging at least one of the retention flange and the channel-recess. 3. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 1, wherein the engagement member comprises a transverse slot for transversely sliding engagement with the retention flange and the channel-recess. 4. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 1, wherein the channel beam further comprises a pair of longitudinally opposed end walls, each said end wall comprising a hook-and-loop fastener for releasably securing a window treatment end piece. 5. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 1, wherein the anchor member comprises a wall attachment flange oriented substantially normal to the support arm, the wall attachment flange defining at least one hole for receiving a mechanical fastener therein. 6. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 5, wherein the retention flange is offset forwardly from the wall attachment flange. 7. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 5, wherein the retention flange is coupled to the wall attachment flange, and wherein when the bottom beam surface is in the mounted arrangement, the rear beam surface is in abutting contact with the wall attachment flange. 8. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 1, wherein the mounting assembly comprises a plurality of said mounting brackets positionable in a longitudinally spaced relationship relative to one another. 9. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 1, wherein the elongate channel, the elongate groove and the rearward engagement member are integrally formed as an extrusion. 10. A window treatment mounting assembly for mounting a window treatment, the mounting assembly comprising: an elongate beam for releasably securing the window treatment, the elongate beam comprising a sidewall defining at least: a rear beam surface defining an engagement slot; anda bottom beam surface defining a retaining slot; andat least one mounting bracket for supporting the elongate beam on a mounting surface, each said at least one mounting bracket comprising: a wall flange for securing the bracket to the mounting surface;a first arm extending forwardly from the wall flange, and defining a substantially planar upper seating surface, the first arm having an upwardly extending protrusion on a forward end sized to be received in the retaining slot; anda second arm projecting forwardly from the wall flange and spaced above the first arm to define a forwardly open channel therebetween, the second arm being sized for insertion in the engagement slot;wherein the bottom beam surface is positionable in a mounted arrangement on the seating surface, with the second arm inserted in the engagement slot and the protrusion received in the retaining slot, whereby the beam is transversely slidable relative to the at least one mounting bracket in the mounted arrangement;a resiliently compressible retention member, wherein the sidewall further defines at least in part an upwardly open elongate channel sized to receive the retention member therein, whereby engagement between the retention member and at least part of the sidewall releasably couples the window treatment to the beam. 11. A window treatment mounting assembly for mounting a window treatment over a window, the mounting assembly comprising: a longitudinally elongated beam for releasably retaining the window treatment, the beam comprising a bottom beam surface, a sidewall having a rearward engagement member, the sidewall defining an upwardly open elongate channel and a downwardly open groove positioned forwardly of the engagement member;a resiliently compressible retention member sized for insertion within the channel, whereby engagement between the retention member and at least part of the sidewall releasably couples the window treatment to the channel beam in a friction fit;a plurality of mounting brackets positionable on a mounting surface in a longitudinally spaced relationship relative to one another to support the beam over the window, each said mounting bracket comprising: an anchor member for securing each mounting bracket to the mounting surface;a support arm projecting forwardly from the anchor member towards a forward end and defining an upper seating surface, the support arm having a rib on the forward end sized for mated engagement in the groove; anda retention flange coupled to the support arm and offset forwardly from the anchor member, the retention flange being substantially parallel to and spaced above the support arm to define a forwardly open channel therebetween;wherein the bottom beam surface is positionable in a mounted arrangement in contact with the seating surface, with the rib in mated engagement with the open groove and the engagement member engaging at least one of the retention flange and the forwardly open channel. 12. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 11, wherein the engagement member comprises a transverse slot for transversely sliding engagement with the retention flange and the forwardly open channel. 13. The window treatment mounting assembly of claim 12, wherein the anchor member comprises a wall attachment flange oriented substantially normal to the support arm, the wall attachment flange defining at least hole for receiving a mechanical fastener therein. 14. A window treatment kit comprising a window treatment and the window treatment assembly of claim 1.
