Hi Steve,

I looked at your branch. Using trail-and-error method, I found the 
surprising reason. If you uncomment Task import in editorview.py and 
comment import calendar in GTG/tools/dates.py, you get rid of that error.

(There is still "Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion 
`g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed" but it doesn't seem harmful).

However, I would suggest you to create a standalone demo first. Create 
just mockup Task class with hardwired values. You would isolate similar 
GTG bugs, it would be faster and easier to develop and debug for you. If 
you keep the same name of methods, it would be easy to merge it.

BTW: It is awesome you want to have support for RTL languages. I am not 
sure about having option to change align of the text - left, right, 
center, justify in toolbar. GTG editor should be for note taking, not 
full featured rich-text editor.

Good work, keep the pace :)

Izidor
