As per request, here's a code sample that demonstrates the functionality. It doesn't do much, so to "get it", you have to follow these steps: 1) build the code 2) run the code 3) type in something into the entry widget 4) check the widget history.... notice there is nothing in the history 5) *press enter* 6) check the widget history.... notice what you typed is now in the history. 7) close the app 8) run the code 9) check the widget history.... notice that it contains what you typed in the last time you ran I'll see if I can come up with a patch myself based on this. -- Christopher Smith <x xman org>
