So I guess the answer is no :-) I know of those functions, it
just seemed that having a widget in a CList cell would be *so*
useful... 

and this I was optimistic based upon this tempting function,
described so in the Tutorial (CList page):

QUOTE 

There is one more call that is related to what's inside a cell
in the clist, and that's:

$clist->get_cell_type( $row, $column );

which returns the type of data in a cell. The return value is one of:

'empty'
'text'
'pixmap'
'pixtext'
'widget'        <------ THIS!

Alas, RTFM again this morning (from
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gtk/gtkclist.html#GTKCELLTYPE
note last line):

QUOTE

enum GtkCellType

typedef enum
{
  GTK_CELL_EMPTY,
  GTK_CELL_TEXT,
  GTK_CELL_PIXMAP,
  GTK_CELL_PIXTEXT,
  GTK_CELL_WIDGET
} GtkCellType;

Identifies the type of element in the current cell of the
CList. Cells can contain text, pixmaps, or both. 

Unfortunately support for GTK_CELL_WIDGET was never completed.
