A last suggestion. Instead of using a red cursor, it better to show the
overwrite mode with a block caret instead of a vertical bar caret. That
way you give a hint to the user that you're going to "eat" the next
character if he writes something.
(That's, btw, the gnome-usability suggestion. I think that there is a
bug report on gnome bugzilla against GtkTextView to implement something
like that)
Cheers,
