I think most of this work has already been done it's just a matter of 
finding the work and organaizing it.  For, instance
Tim's tutorial providers pointers to (Progressbar, Combo, Date) 
CellRenderers, 
http://scentric.net/tutorial/sec-custom-cell-renderers-external.html
and Lorenzo's GtkGrid provides a spin button cellrenderer, 
http://www.sicem.biz/personal/lgs/projects/gtkgrid/view_project.
I'm sure there are more out there...  But i agree it would be helpful if 
the gtk+ library included these cellrenderers, if for no better reason
than that it would make them more accessible to developers.
