Still, I got some ventoo work done. I'm working on one of the two last major features of Ventoo: Smart Completion. As the user enters text into Ventoo I wanted Ventoo to be able to tell the user immediately if the input was valid or not as well a suggest valid completions. Gtk comes with text completion utilities that I wanted to use for this project. Turns out that you can't associate a completion object with a TextRenderer in a TreeView widget. I tried to hack in completion with custom edit callbacks but I was not able to get it working smoothly. I'm currently speaking with my mentor about alternatives. On the bright side I have the backend all figured out, just need to let the user see the data in a convenient fashion.
