GTK too limited to do 'something clever' like draw graphics in the text window. Moreover, if my memory don't fail, concerning signs, i never suggested doing anything else than show sign content inside a sign graphic. And unless i miss something, having a popup show up when you apply a sign and not be able to fight is not really a problem, unless you start applying signs while fighting??
