Editing Subtitles
Due to limitations in the GTK# bindings, i'm unable to implement full in-line editing support. I managed to create in-line SpinButtons for time/frame editing, but the same couldn't be done for the text area.
That said, plan B went into action. Timings and text editing is placed at the bottom, and reflect the currently selected subtitle. I have to say, though, that this turned out better than i thought, and perhaps the interface is more solid this way than it would have been with in-line editing only.

I must say I like this interface more than the other one with in-line editing.
According to the human interface guidelines i've read, editing in-place is actually discouraged when what you're editing becomes complex. This complexion is naturally subjective, but i guess that editing text with multiple lines and formatting involved can be put in a "kind of complex" category.
This to say that this kind of interface may actually be theoretically the best.
