	Thanks, I'll check it out.

	Although, it's worth mentioning that (according to Owen) the
design for the original GtkText was inspired by trying to *not* be like
the Tk widget (because it uses 3 times as much memory as is necessary to
hold the text).

	Although by today's standards requiring 300K to hold a 100K text
file doesn't seem like much of a drawback, especially if the widget is
fast and featureful.
