Well, there is no spin button cell renderer in Gtk+ so far as far as I'm 
aware, so you'd need to use a custom cell renderer for that anyway.

And if you use a custom cell renderer for that, you can of course implement a 
"step" (or whatever) property for your custom cell renderer and link that to 
a model column via attributes, so that different rows have different 
parameters. This involves a decent amount of hacking though, especially if 
you want the spin buttons to be visible at all times and not only in editing 
mode (if that is possible at all, which I'm not sure about).
