[Gtk-sharp-list] A text view widget with a transparent background, and some other pure evil.

I got it working in my demo.

Click on the canvas to enter text, enter text. Click again to apply the text
to the bitmap. You can zoom, and change the text size while entering text.

I'm not sure if it's a usable solution though - it's got a few extreme hacks
to work around what I think may be textview bugs - or at least "unspecified
behaviour".

Does anyone else here know of some other re-usable text input code, that
works with Pango and Cairo. Preferably C#.
