Hi,

I’ve recently been attempting to port an application written using a  
different GUI toolkit to gtk2. The application makes use of several  
displays that present data in a table format, like a spreadsheet. I  
gather that the canonical way of doing this using ruby/gtk is via a  
TreeView+ListStore combo, and I have implemented it this way, Some  
columns contain monetary amounts, and for these the data should be  
presented right-justified, but after extensive googling I have been  
unable to figure out how to do this. Please, give advice!
