Good news: It's definitely possible. Bad news: It's not easy and may become messy. The way to achive this is by creating a custom cell renderer or by using more than one of the standard cell renderers. Using multiple cell renderers has the disadvantage of only being rendered horizontally next to each other. I am not aware of any way to change this behaviour (but would be glad if someone else can point it out). Using custom cell renderers, there are, again, two options: * Create a cell renderer that will custom-render the entire layout. In an attempt to achive a generic solution to this problem, I've created a CellRendererWidget that renders an arbitrary widget (meant to be a container), but it's not entirely stable. If you're interested, you can get the source at https://translate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/translate/src/trunk/virtaal/virtaal/views/widgets/cellrendererwidget.py * Create a cell renderer that combines various other renderers. This seems to be a cleaner way (as well as Transmission's way) of doing things. Looking at lines 537-544 of http://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser/trunk/gtk/torrent-cell-renderer.c (the business end of the render_minimal() function), you can see that the 4 wrapped cell renderers' rendering functions are simply called with modified areas.
