  I'm also working on the Right Fix which, imho, is to use the gtk2
widgets (gtktextview/gtktextbuffer). I've already done some of the work
to replace the GtkText edit zone by a GtkTextView. It works well for
basic editing (I've still to port many of the features the old c->entry)
has.
 
  Tell me if you're interested or if I should just give up and be
patient. I have a pretty good knowledge of gtk, so I guess I can help.
