GtkLayout and Pango

[Sham Gardner <rabbitcode risctaker org>]

Hi

I'm writing an application that uses a GtkLayout as a large horizontally 
scrollable area and uses Pango to plot short pieces of text at regular 
intervals within that area. Other drawing primitives are also used at 
similar intervals.

I have observed that while the drawing primitives I use work fine with 
32 bit coordinates, Pango inexplicable fails to plot anything beyond an 
X coordinate of 2^21 (2097152) (Y coordinates may be similarly affected, 
but my application does not use large Y coordinates). Is this a known 
issue and is there any way around the problem short of resorting to an 
intermediate Pixmap object?
