[MonoDevelop] GtkSourceView improvements

[Jeroen Zwartepoorte]

Hi John,

Could you explain what you mean with "gtksourceview syntax
highlighting conflicts with the error underline drawing"? Paolo
(Maggi) & i met up at GUADEC and discussed improving GtkSourceView. We
discussed code folding & complete line-highlighting (e.g.
breakpoints). If there's other stuff that should be fixed, please let
me know.

See http://live.gnome.org/GtkSourceView (add comments please) for a
suggested API for code folding and line highlighting.

Regards,

Jeroen
