gtk with readline, sidebar questions

["Phillip Neiswanger" <sigsegv prodigy net>]

Do the gtk text widgets provide enough functionality to implement simple  
command line editing, or do I need to look at integrating with gnu  
readline?

I also am wondering if gtk provides a widget to allow me to create a  
sidebar that overlaps the central widget rather than being tiled with it.

Thanks.
