I don't think custom cell renderers are what you're looking for.  Just
use a normal entry and place a button beside it that pops up the
calendar.  When the user selects a date, the text in the entry is
updated.

In fact, since that's a rather common task, there's a complete widget
already: Gnome2::DateEdit.
