GTK programs like gedit and Tomboy use numbers and letters to divide between
words, e.g. hitting Ctrl+Backspace on abc123 will just delete the 123. To
me, the standard behavior for word boundaries is to stop at spaces and
punctuation and to treat all alphanumeric characters equally. GTK's method
is especially annoying when programming or handling serial numbers, when
mixing letters and numbers is common. Is there any way to configure GTK (or
more likely, the pango backend) to change how word boundaries are detected?

To make it even more difficult, I use Tomboy on Windows at work, and would
like to be able to configure it there too.

Thanks,
