Re: [gtk-list] Re: gtk_entry and passwords... (fwd)

I just got this mail. Looking over the patch, I can't quite see how it 
would work, because it only seems to affect the get_text call, where the 
main calls that need to be affected are draw_text and so on.

I agree with Dan, however, that the most concise way to get a password 
entry widget working would be to add the visibility flag as he proposes, 
rather than subclassing the widget. Obviously I've been infected by the 
object orientation virus :)

I'd send this to the list, but my messages to the list never make it to
the list.  :-S

This implements a GtkEntry suitable for passwords.  It could be better,
but it works.
