Description Jeroen Zwartepoorte 2003-07-14 20:16:34 UTC 
For showing breakpoints and such, it's common practice to change the
background color of the entire line (to red in this case). Not just the
background of the text, but the _entire_ line (into infinity). Now afaik,
this is not possible with the current API/code. Adding this would be great
for use in gtksourceview/gedit and glimmer.
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2003-07-14 20:20:58 UTC 
This should be trivial to implement, if someone 
wants to have a go at it. 2.4 API freeze is going to catch 
you pretty soon though.
