Not sure whether I understand exactly what kind of widget you refer to
(don't know Red Carpet) but have you considered a simple GtkLabel with
selectable text? Without surrounding frame widget it looks flat. See
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-selectable
or the widget properties of a GtkLabel in Glade. I think that behaves as
you describe it.
