Does anyone have an idea when the GTK_CELL_WIDGET functionality might
be added to CList?  Is anyone working on it?

The reason I ask is that I'm involved with the
xacc/watermark/cbb/gnomoney merger (all free Quicken-like programs),
and one of the goals is to migrate the UI from Motif to Gtk.  It looks
like the CList will handle much of what we need for financial
registers, but it would be really nice to be able to edit the data in
place.  That would require being able to respond to user clicks on
cells, and convert the cell back and forth between a plain text cell
and an entry/pulldown-menu/whatever widget.

Thanks
