I was working i removing the use of hippo in Chat activity.<br>I have implemented a HBox type container to substitute the RoundBox,<br>and used TextView to display the text.<br><br>There are a few pending issues:<br><br>* If the text writen in a message is longer than the horizontal space in one row, <br>
the box is widen, and the text is not sent to another row. I have tried using <br>textview.set_wrap_mode(gtk.WRAP_WORD), but this cut every row with one word.<br><br>* There are issue with the repainting of the cairo based RoundBox. The first row, <br>
after the activity alert is hidden, is not repainted.<br><br>* The smiley images are aligned at bottom with the text. <br>In the old Chat were aligned at middle and looked better.<br><br>* After changing to another activity and come back, the palette asociated to a url,<br>
show a error message " Cannot update the palette position." and is not displayed.<br><br>Comments and ideas, welcomed.<br><br>Gonzalo<br>
