I have used a text editor named "edile" which is solely a combination
of Python and gtksourceview (which I believe also powers gedit) and it
has a feature where lines which are changed (but not saved) appear in
a different colour. The project is hosted by Google Code here -
http://code.google.com/p/edile/.
Since it used only the two "components", I'm assuming that the
functionality is already available, perhaps in gtksourceview (?), and
needed to be switched on or off.

This might be something worth looking into.
