IIRC, the only sure-fire way to customize that behavior is to use  
custom renderers.  The cell renderer is the only place where you can  
get access to the editable in order to hook into its focus-out signal  
and such.

If performance is a big problem, and you don't mind an XS dependency,  
you can implement that custom renderer in C and bind it rather easily.


I'd be quite happy if somebody proved me wrong. ;-)
