GtkTable is only for doing layout. I guess it is theoretically possible
to have very narrow (1-3 pixels) columns with another background to
create borders. If your app is a GNOME app, you can use the GtkHTML or
XmHTML widget to display tables.
For GNU Solfege, I used GtkTable and inserted a few GtkVSeparator and
GtkHSeparator to make borders. This because I wanted it to run on win32
too, and that platform it don't have a html widget and I wanted it to be
possible to compile the app without the GNOME libraries.
You can see how this looks at
