Also, adding bubble background pixbufs wouldn't be that difficult, and shouldn't cause any performance issues.

Anyway, no scrolling issues, and this is Python. Here's a screen shot of a 105 message conversation:

It's great to have tmo members like you that are willing to do these kinds of things.
It looks good so far. Perhaps a new thread could be created for this so that we don't hijack the current thread since this stuff is a bit off-topic.

Thanks for the efforts so far!
