Me too.

I'm using gtk_input_add() also.  What are the advantages of
using GIOChannel?  I'm not sure if the GIO stuff is available
in Python, but if there's a significant advantage, I'll try to
find out...

I write the data to a text widget much as you do.  Do you just
let it accumulate forever, or do you limit the amount of
"scrollback" available somehow.   At 115k baud, you can
accumulate 10K bytes/second, and after a while, it starts to
add up.
