Heh:-)  Sorry 'bout the previous empty reply.. I hit ctrl-X instead
of ctrl-C :)

Anyway, I was just going to say that it was indeed relinquished, and to my
knowledge, no one has taken it up again.. though it seems to work to some
extent.  Somehow I have a copy of a program called 'ged' (GTK editor) that
uses this widget (by Hideki Fujimoto <hideki70@osk2.threewebnet.or.jp> -
sorry, no url in the package.) 

If you're interested, let me know and I can send you a copy. (or you can
contact the author, he may have done more work on it since.)
