[gtkmm] Right aligning GtkEntry? (and more)

["Benjamin A. Cooper" <bacooper bacwater net>]

Good day, I have run into several dead ends in my attempt at using Gtk+
2.0. and gtkmm 1.3.21 (I can upgrade if needed). I have asked most of
these questions on gtk-app-delev-list and recieved no replys, so I
figured i would try here, you all have been nice to me so far.

The main thing that I really want to do is to right justify a GtkEntry
widget, I can not find any way to do this, it should be very easy.

I would also like to be able to turn off the sunken border around my
GtkStatusbar, and I can find nothing indicating how to access this
either.

Also, I want to change the font in my GtkEntry and GtkTreeView to be a
mono spaced font (since I am dealing with numbers and I want them to
line up). Currently I am simply setting the font family to courier, but
I would rather it used some sort of user defined "system default" mono
spaced font, is there such a thing, and how do I access it?  How do I
allow the user to configure a font in the rc file, then make sure that
it is indeed monospaced before letting it be used?  How do I determine
if such a setting has taken place and choose weather to set the font
myself or not?

And... I would like cause an audio beep. What methods are there for
this, I would prefer to play a default sound file rather than just
beeping through the PC speaker, but I assume that would require gnome
(for which I plan to add optional support soon, any tips on how to ue
gnome optionally in configure.in?)


Thanks for any help.

P.S. There wouldn't happen to be any way to cause a GtkTreeView to be
filled
from the bottom would there?
