There would be no problems with adding syntax highlighting to the text
widget, since that is basically what I have done. It is not a
_separate_ widget, but a _subclass_ of the text widget.

But I don't think this should be a part of the text widget, since
syntax highlighting won't be useful in most application. Applications
which will use the text widget, and not the source editor widget.

I have made a few changes to the text widget to be able to do the
things I do, but otherwise tried to separate the widgets. Advancements
to the text widget will be inherented in the editor widget, since it
has gtktext as it's parent class and overwrite very few of the virtual
functions.
