now that i know have the hammer that can create new cell renderers, suddenly
everything starts looking like a nail...  but your new hboxes should indeed
show up.

each time you have a new download coming in, do you create and add the hbox to
the vbox?  pack_start and show_all should do what you want.  you may possibly
also need a $window->queue_resize after calling pack_start, unless the vbox is
inside a scrolled window.

i can't tell you much more without seeing the code.
