 I'd second this, as in W3C there are decissions for extendet Forms
which allow 
keyboard accelerators too. So an HTML/XML widget will realy nead all
this stuff.
 On the other hand, i thought, that an scrolled widget is by now
realised by a rendering only a small amount outside the viewing area  in
advace and maps this 
on scrolling. So what's wrong with this design using in GTK?
