questions about GtkTextView (gtk2)

[Wayne Schuller <k_wayne linuxpower org>]

hi,

I would like to use the GtkTextView widget in my program to view the
Hebrew text of the Bible.

Is there a way to catch a signal when the user has passed the mouse over
a word in the GtkTextView?

I would like words to highlight (change color) when the user passes the
mouse over them. (plus some other stuff)...

I have thought about using the GnomeCanvas for this, but I think that is
very slow with lots of text. (I don't mind linking to the gnome2
libraries)

thanks,
wayne
