Well sorry Muppet, I don't want to waste your time, but I think I found the
problem.

It's only preliminary, but I'm sure I have a handle on it.

The problem seems to be related to the CellRendererSpinButton
package needs a section like

sub SET_PROPERTY {
    my ($self, $pspec, $val) = @_;

    if ($pspec->get_name eq 'value') {
        $self->{value} = $val;
     }
}

That lets the initial value set in the ListStore's cells when you
load the list store with initial values.

I have to work out the exact details of the SET_PROPERTY
sub, to let all the settings thru, but I'm sure the problem is solved.

I'll have an example soon. :-)
