Jonathan is hacking this right now, hopefully it will quickly be

I know several people have been working on this, do you know the
current status?

My text widget has blinky cursor mode, because it rocks. ;-) GtkEntry
still doesn't, but GtkEntry code is in a lot of flux (it's the first
editable victim of Pango).

A needed TODO item is probably some way to configure this, configure
double click time, and all that stuff.

Pango lets you specify fonts in a sane way, that should solve this.

Should be a simple patch.

Excellent. Also, be sure to remind all the Helixers that they have
about 2 months to get needed stuff in GTK (the toolbar fixes in
particular really need to happen, and soon).
