Well, the major part of the project is for me to climb the learning
curve of how the code works, and how to create the widget using GTK+.
That could take some time . . .

I also need to figure out how to use CVS . . . .

As far as the change goes, my thought was to create a 6th button on
the attribute saying "enter value text" or something like that.  When
you clicked it, it would give you a multi-line text entry widget where
you could enter the attribute value.   This widget would pop up on top
of the attribute edit box.  You would type in the multi-line text, and
then you would click on "OK" in the multi-line text widget, and it
would place the text in the attribute's value & return focus back to
the attribute edit widget.

Or is there a better way?
