The _ADD_INTERFACE() xsub necessary for perl code to implement an  
interface does not exist in Gtk2::CellLayout, so it appears you can't  
implement one in perl at the moment.

It shouldn't be that hard to knock up a patch...

If your stock ticker renderer will be a Gtk2::CellRenderer, then i  
guess that makes sense.  You'd be able to have stock tickers in a  
table and in combo boxes without any extra effort.  If you wanted to  
create your own container that uses CellLayout to contain a  
CellRenderer, then you could, but i don't really understand why you  
would.  Can you explain a little more?
