Re: How many *lines* are visible in a GtkText?

[Davina Armstrong <davina lickey com>]

GtkText has a member:

GList *line_start_cache;

which I believe is a list of all of the visible lines.  You could try
iterating through the list, counting how many lines it contains.  I
haven't tried, this, though.
