I've also done this and it works. An issue I'm having with this is that
I'm limiting the width of the textarea and use wrapping.
gtk.Layout.get_pixel_size() does not take the wrapping into
consideration, but gives the width and height based on an unwrapped
layout. How can this be addressed? Surely pango knows how wide and high
it will be with the wrapping enabled.

Any help appreciated.
