I'm currently merging the libmergeant library into libgnomedb and
there is also a such a widget,  (it works from the data types of the
fields in the data model) and each data entry widget is configurable
through the usage of plugins. Also each data entry can either be free
fill or it can be made mandatory to choose from a defined list of
possible values.

As a matter of fact the GnomeDbForm and the GnomeDbGrid objects will
be able to work on the same data at the same time (thanks MCV design).

So please don't put too much work into this as the code I have already
exists and I plan to make it available after libgnomedb 1.2 is out.

Cheers,
