When I use the GTK text field I use it with word wrap enabled. This is nice of course, but I have been frustrated with one thing - that little wrap line icon. Today I finally decided to do something about it. Attached is a patch which allows you to disable it with the gtk_text_set_wrap_icon function. Call it with a false value, and the arrow (only for word wrapping) will be removed. I also patched the testgtk program to include this feature in the text demo. The patch is against the latest GTK 1.2 CVS versions. I would love it if this patch made the dist since this is one of the features I've missed the most. The function name might be a bit deceiving though. I wasn't sure what to name it. Perhaps gtk_text_set_use_wrap_icon would be better name? -- [ Below is a random fortune, which is unrelated to the above message. ] spagmumps, n.: Any of the millions of Styrofoam wads that accompany mail-order items. -- "Sniglets", Rich Hall & Friends
