I'm not sure what this is about exactly.  But something that I thought about 
working on vte (and specifically, thinking about breaking vte into model/view) 
is, if GtkTextBuffer and GtkTextView where proper interfaces, VteTerminal and 
VteTerminalView could implement them.  In fact, VteTerminalView could be 
implemented only if GtkTextView was too slow for us.  This could give us lots 
of neat stuff I imagine.
