Yes, it's possible. I have had the same problem and I tried to solve it wrongly
with gtk_label_set_justify()

You can align the text in the cell with:

gtk_misc_set_alignment (GTK_MISC (your_label), x_align, y_align);

where x_align and y_align varies from 0.0 to 1.0 beign 0.0 totally alligned to
the left position and 1.0 totally to the right in the x_align case, the same
applies to y_align.

At least it works perfectly for me.
