I doubt there would be one.  There is, however, a highlight style, which I presume is what the Cell 
Renderer's are using.  If you could make that style identical to the "normal" style (how does one do that?), 
it should effectively hide the highlight.  Then it's a matter of faking the highlight by fiddling foreground 
and background colours, or perhaps even the style of the cell prior to rendering (a row render function, 
perhaps?).  Do cell renderers have a "pressed in" style?  Maybe use that as the secondary selection?

If anyone actually manages to do something like this, I'd very much appreciate hearing about it.
