A third idea I thought about is to use a GtkList instead of a GtkCList. 

Each GtkListItem would be a vbox with two or three lines just like the
text export:

    1. Cubeful 2-ply    24/20 13/8                   Eq.:  +0.066
       0.519 0.141 0.007 - 0.481 0.128 0.004
        2-ply cubeful 100% speed [world class]
    2. Cubeful 2-ply    13/9 13/8                    Eq.:  +0.045 ( -0.021)
       0.508 0.156 0.007 - 0.492 0.133 0.005
        2-ply cubeful 100% speed [world class]

One of the problems would be alignment. GtkFixed could be used, but
would require some programming to be indepedent of font sizes.
