Maybe the signature of that function has changed. Check the refererence
documentation or the header, and look at the customcellrenderer example.

There is a CHANGES file, and one in glibmm. Unfortunately the online links
to those files in CVS are broken because GNOME's lxr/bonsai system is not
yet online again. It should probably be a chapter in the gtkmm 2.4 book.

That would be nice, but it won't be there until I or someone else gets
around to doing it.
