There are also a number of things the gtk widget can do that Tk can't.

You can create them with a GtkTextBuffer object as follows: iter = buffer.get_iter_at_line_offset(linenum, charoffset) iter = buffer.get_iter_at_offset(charoffset) iter = buffer.get_start_iter() iter = buffer.get_end_iter() start_iter, end_iter = buffer.get_bounds() There are a few other text buffer methods for creating iters, but those should be enough most of the time. You can then use iter methods to advance by chars, words or lines, etc. > > >[An off topic question: does anybody know when we can have a glade2 program >to play with?] > I don't know when glade2 will be ready. There is also a port of the old glade to gtk 2. I don't know the branch name for this though. As a third option, you can do your interface in glade as normal, and use libglade-convert to convert the .glade file to the new format.
