Yeah, I thought I remembered seeing something about it being fixed, so I
wasn't sure if I was going crazy for a minute :-)

thanks, I'll update my local packages.

This seems to not be quite as simple. I tried the obvious (OK, not that
obvious... why text_view is not a pointer escapes me):

But that crashes when we try to destroy the widget. I don't get this
either, because we in buddy.c that tip window get destroyed and there's
no crash. I could kludge around it by doing this:

But that's just icky. What should I be doing here? My GTK-fu is
extremely rusty.
