.PP
The \fBGtk2::EntryBuffer\fR class contains the actual text displayed in a
Gtk2::Entry widget.
.PP
A single Gtk2::EntryBuffer object can be shared by multiple Gtk2::Entry
widgets which will then share the same text content, but not the cursor
position, visibility attributes, icon etc.
.PP
Gtk2::EntryBuffer may be derived from. Such a derived class might allow
text to be stored in an alternate location, such as non-pageable memory,
useful in the case of important passwords. Or a derived class could
integrate with an application's concept of undo/redo.
