Signals and sockets

An idea to use singleton to store and retrieve configuration is not so good as I thought. Using of Singleton breaks all benefits of OOP. Using of singleton is such the same evil as using global variables.
So I decided to build my project with help of signals. So, for example, if user will press a key - then the window which is in focus will emit signal, and some class that is responsible for input will check, whether the user pressed a right key and will emit appropriate signal. Then, marquee widget will process the signal and will move cursor one character right. At the same time, another object, which is responsible for statistics will process the signal and will do what it must.
The marquee widget will listen to socket and read characters from it. At another end will sit conveyer-object which will put characters into socket.

Small redesign of marquee widget to make it better.

I must rebuild my widget in such a way that the text will be inside the area with rounded corners. It is so right now - you may think, but the true is that it is on (not inside) the area with rounded corners.
I have a context where two background colors joined together: grey and white. I will place my pango text right there. And when I put the context with background colors and text into the context with rounded corners - the text will never come out.

Open File

This program does already creates a window with menu, toolbar and label (this label wiill became a marqee in the future). Now, I need to implement some action when the user chooses the file. For example, I can put the name of that file to the label.
