I would really really love this feature, but I haven't found out yet to align text in a Gtk.TextView! :(

I would very much like to implement this. It looks like it will be pretty non-trivial to do, and require basically indenting the main text a suitable amount then drawing the timestamps and nicks in the gap at the appropriate place.
It has the potential to get pretty complex to handle resizing the columns appropriately, and line overflows in the main chat.

I don't think thats the right thing to do as Smuxi allows to use non-monospace fonts too. TextView has support for columns somehow, but I have no idea how to make use of them.
