A quick comment. I guess I wasn't subtle enough in my last mail. I hate
to do this to Pete. Pete broke the text widget VERY BADLY since the last
version I gave him. This is why it crashed when newlines were inserted.
This is why it redraws and recomputes everything when you run your test.
When I fix it once again, it won't redraw the whole widget at each insertion.
Also, selection doesn't work yet. I'll get out a new version sometime.
I think I'll also try to implement embedded widgets, then we can decide
how the performance is.
Also, have you proposed how to fix the size negotiation stuff?
