     Thomas,
	We're looking at redesigning/recoding the GtkText widget.  I have
some questions with regard to your GtkSCText widget.

1) Before the "GtkSCText" widget, were your GtkText patches going into the
main Gtk+ distibution?

2) What new features does the automatically-generated GtkSCText widget
have?  Does it have horizontal scrolling?

3) Do you know of any other people who have patches/edited/changed the
GtkText widget?


	It seems like multiple people have made their own "personal"
patches to the GtkText widget.  I want to get a GtkText with all the
patches applied together so we know where we stand in terms of
functionality.
