I would add the ancient and limited image support, both for input and 
canvas output. Modern SVG output instead of ancient (possibly buggy) 
PostScript would be a real improvement.

Otherwise, I have become more impressed with the text widget as I have 
studied the Idle code. Even that does not use everything. I have not 
looked at the text widget in other guis to compare.
