I have done this before with an embedded Frame widget, however changes to
the Text widget size have to be taken into account and the Frame widgets
need to be resized accordingly, which makes things a bit complicated.
Maybe there is a simpler way to do that, but I don't know any.
I'll post the important parts of the code I used below.
I hope this helps :)
