Hi,
You can use a simple Text View. I have developed a little tool which
does exactly what you are trying to do. It is written with gtk2 perl
binding, but it should be quite simple to translate into other
languages. Here is a screenshot
http://sclog.slackit.org/index_eng.html#screenshots. On the same page
you can download the source code.
If you need a C sample you can look at the "Text Widget (Multiple
Views)" demo from gtk-demo (you should have it already installed, since
it comes with gtk2 distribution).
