GtkTable is a container for widgets, and (as far as I know) doesn't
support cell renderers, nor a model based backend.

I think what both use-cases want is a GtkTreeView which supports certain
cells spanning multiple columns or rows. Obviously this doesn't fit well
into the existing MVC + API.

Thanks for the thought though. Another thing I briefly considered was
GtkSheet, but its a bit too spread-sheet like, and again IIRC, doesn't
support standard GtkCellRenderers which would be a big plus.
