[pygtk] set_tabs in a gtk.TextView

Hi all,

I have some plain text material that I want to show in a TextView. The 
plaintext contains some tab characters, \t.

I would have expected that if I set_tabs on my TextView, then stuck the 
text into the associated TextBuffer, then it would render such that the 
text following '\t' characters line up with the tab stops I specify.

Should this work? Or am I misunderstanding how to use this? Are there 
flags on the TextView that I need to set, perhaps?

Cheers
JP
