I guess you could consider it a bug. As far as I can tell, there is no
workaround. You can connect to the "editing-started" signal of
GtkCellRendererText which passes the GtkEntry widget that is used to
edit the entry as second argument. However, you'd need to put the widget
into some sort of container that supports padding, which you can't do
since you just get the GtkEntry, and not its parent. If there is a bug,
then it is probably that GtkEntry only has gtk_entry_set_alignment which
specifies horizontal alignment and no such function for vertical
alignment.

Sorry that this doens't help,

Axel.
