This sounds useful.  Anybody interested in writing a gtk.EventBox-style decorator widget that adds just this kind of border?  Or has it been done already?

Btw, as far as I can tell, I'm using a theme (Mist) that does not indicate a gtk.Entry's focus (probably to save space, the border isn't shown), so better don't count on visible focus indication at all, it might not be available to the user.

But anyway, such a decorator would be sweet.

Connect to the "key-press-event", use TextBuffer methods to find out about the cursor's position in a line, and use the return value of the callback to prevent or allow insertion of the pressed key as a character.
