Hi, Several applications have GtkEntry classes which show a message in faded text when the entry is normally empty and disabled, wiping it when the entry is focused (as an example see the search bar in Evolution). I've made a simple subclass of GtkEntry which does this for Tasks, but is there any interest of adding this as a "hint" property to GtkEntry in GTK+ instead?
if several apps duplicate this already, "interest" obviously exists. should be filed as a bug report with patch then.
