Hi Davina,

	Thanks!  Actually, I noticed a few of member variables in GtkText
that I could look into that might help.  However, being the newbie that I
am, I wasn't able to directly access them.  That is, with a pointer to a
GtkWidget, how would one dereference the right pointers to get to this
variable (which I did notice in the file gtktext.h).

	I tried looking for it with a graphical debugger but I got lost...
;(
